The FE cable heating element is tension wrapped and covered with a fluorocarbon film and enclosed in a minimum 20 mil FEP abrasion resistant extruded jacket. This tough outer cover provides moisture and dielectric protection as well as resistance to abrasion.

A tinned copper overbraid provides additional protection and electrical ground return path.

APPLICATIONS
OMEGALUX™ FE cable is a low Watt density electrical resistance heater. It is designed for freeze protection and midrange process temperature control and maintenance applications in lines periodically purged with 150 PSIG steam.

# Cable circuit module length in feet. When ordering please allow a minimum of 1 module length extra for terminations.
**Maximum Circuit Lengths include end-to-end voltage variation of 10%. Longer runs may be used. Lengths are based on cable operating temperatures of 300°F.
To complete your system the following accessories are recommended: (1) Termination kits for FE cable (see page B-31 for specifications), (2) Control options - see Section P for complete selection of controllers thermostats.

We purchased 8’ of fe8-480b and only need 2’. Can it be cut? It didn’t come with ends. What should we order for that? It’s self regulating so do we need a temperature control?

Asked by: psrien2
The FE-UC-KIT is sold for terminating the cable which can be cut. It is self regulating so a Controller is not required though some type of over temperature device to detect and open the circuit if an excessive temperature is reached is advised.
