Diesel Locomotive Cable

Designed for use in diesel-electric locomotive engines, DLO cables are a flexible portable power cable with dual extruded product. Originally, these cables were developed to supply electric power to traction motors of the diesel-electric locomotives, despite having “diesel” in the name, however, today these cables have a number of other uses. Can be used for applications where flexible power leads must be installed in conduit or raceway, diesel electric locomotives, or motor leads.

Tough enough to withstand the daily abuse, temperature extremes, and high-stress industrial environment of a diesel electric locomotive, DLO cable features a 90ºC temperature rating and is resistant to oils, acids, alkalies, heat, and flame. For applications where flexible power leads must be installed in conduit or raceway, diesel electric locomotives, motor leads.
