Alpha Wire
For over 100 years, Alpha Wire has engineered wire and cables that excel in taming tough applications. From the harsh environment of a factory floor or the critical controls on an offshore oil rig, to advanced medical devices requiring smaller, lighter connectivity solutions, cables from Alpha Wire are working reliably day-in and day-out. They design and manufacture every cable to meet the critical demands of real-world applications. Using premium materials, advanced manufacturing, and world-class quality control, they manufacture every cable knowing its operation is critical to an application’s success.
Featured Products
Alpha Wire’s EcoGen is a line of environmentally friendly wire and cable products designed to meet modern performance and ecological standards. The EcoGen range includes several types of cables such as EcoWire, EcoWire Plus, EcoFlex, EcoFlex PUR, EcoCable, and EcoCable Mini, all made with innovative materials like modified polyphenylene ether (mPPE). These materials are non-halogenated and contain no heavy metals, making them fully recyclable and compliant with environmental regulations like RoHS and WEEE.
Alpha Wire’s EcoGen is the next generation of eco-friendly, high-performance wire and cable, designed to provide better performance in a smaller package due to reduced insulation and jacket thickness. EcoGen wire and cable is up to 47% smaller and 65% lighter while still performing at the highest levels. The superior dielectric properties of mPPE make a reduced wall thickness possible while maintaining the same electrical properties as a thicker PVC control cable.
Features & Benefits:
- Environmentally Friendly – Zero Halogens, Phthalates, or Heavy Metals.
- RoHS and WEEE Certified
- Low Specific Gravity – 1.03 mPPE is 25%-40% lower than other insulation materials such as PVC, Polyethylene, and cross-linked polyethylene and yields significant weight savings of up to 65%
- Capable of Handling temperature extremes to -50°C
- 3 Shielding Options – Unshielded, Foil Shielded, and Supra-Shield® Foil + Braid Shield
