Exar® SFX 7.

5KV
UL 3575 150°C - 7500V
Class F (155°C)
Exar® SFX 7.5KV, is the latest generation of our Exar Family. This innovative new material transforms Exar® irradiation cross-linked polyolefin
into a extremely flexible, rubber-like material. SFX is flexible yet it retains the excellent thermal, size, toughness and varnish release advantages
of Exar®. The end result is a wire or cable ideally suited to applications where a combination of flexibility, size and performance is required.
Exar® SFX 7.5KV represents the latest technology in composite insulation. This highly stranded copper has a semi-conductive covering and
heat-defying Exar®150C insulation. The end result is a wire or cable ideally suited to applications where a combination of flexibility, smaller
size and performance are required.

Feel the difference and you will agree that Exar® SFX 7.5KV, feels more like rubber than any other XLPE or XLPO on the market!
