The high voltage wire and cable specified in this catalog is used in a wide spectrum of industry: Travelling wave tubes, magnetrons and klystrons Laser systems: rangefinders, ring laser gyroscopes and night vision systems Cathode Ray Tubes (CRT) High energy physics research High voltage power supplies Our customers are typically manufacturers of radar, ECM, laser and cockpit displays, satellite propulsion, missiles, medical, X-Ray equipment, ordnance systems and a wide range of other high voltage applications. The minimum order quantity is 100 feet for cable in stock. Most of the wire and cable can be supplied in continuous lengths up to 5,000 feet. Colors are available on special order. High voltage wire and cable can be supplied in bulk form or specified as part of a cable assembly terminated to a Reynolds high voltage connector. We encourage customers to take advantage of Reynolds unique and reliable fabrication methods and quality oriented 100% production testing of cable assemblies under simulated aerospace environments.
	Voltage Testing All wire and cable is sample tested at a DC voltage higher than the rated voltage.
	AC Voltages All wire and cable is rated strictly for DC applications. Customers wanting to use the cable for AC or pulsed DC applications should conduct tests to satisfy themselves that the cable meets their needs.
	AC Voltages Samples are taken from each cable reel and DC hi-pot tested in accordance with the test voltages quoted in our specifications. All operating voltages specified are applicable from sea level to 70,000 feet (21,000 meters) and -55 to +125°C.
	Corona The reduction of corona is critical to the life expectancy of any high voltage cable and any resultant cable assembly. FEP and PFA insulation contribute to good corona characteristics as the manufacturing methods ensure that voids are not present in the extruded insulation.
	Operating Temperature Range For FEP, PFA and silicone rubber wire and cable, we quote an operating temperature range of -55 to +125°C, which, although very conservative, is in line with the specified requirements of most military applications. The majority of our testing and history is based on this.
Bend Radius Formula
	Application Formula = Bend Radius In situ (strapped down or in conduit trays) 10 X cable diameter
	Space Use Reynolds supplies wire and cable for space applications. This cable receives stringent cleaning, a 100% hi-pot test and 100% reel-to-reel corona testing. Contact Reynolds engineering for more specifics.
