3M Round Conductor Flat Cable
.156" 18 AWG Stranded, PVC 8132 Series
Designed for power applications requiring higher
current carrying capability
18 AWG tinned stranded copper wire provides
flexibility and extended product life
Individually insulated conductors are laminated to a
PVC backing which can be zipped apart for
branching or discrete terminations
