Amusement Park Specifies SAB’s Halogen
Free Cable
 SAB’s local Manufacturers’ Rep received a call from
the Engineering Dept. of one of the Amusement parks in their area. He
qualified the customer in conversation about the application requiring
Halogen Free Cables and quickly discovered this was a real application
with capital expenditures approved and budgeted. In face
to face discussion the Salesman discovered the customer had 3 -
25 year old Monorail cars that required upgrading. The Salesman
sat down with Engineering and after reviewing their needs came
up with 17 different cables for the applications including communication
cable, car to car flexing cables, power and control cables, providing
solutions for all their Halogen Free cabling requirements.
Halogen Free Cable is one of the fastest growing product segments
in our catalog. Please review Section J in our catalog for
the Halogen Free products or request a separate Halogen Free Catalog
for your sales calls.

- Needed to be abrasive resistant (PUR jacket).
- Continuous Flexing to handle the continuous bending
- Required fairly tight bending radius (7.5 x O.D.)
- Cable needed to provide shielding protection.
