With proven quality, the B 108 series ensures consistent performance in industrial control systems. This specially stranded, halogen-free, flame-retardant Besilen® silicone copper rope with copper braid is rated for 3000 V and up to 180°C. Built for durability, it meets key international standards including RoHS and offers UV resistance for reliable operation in demanding environments. Designed for use as a current and earth connection in 3rd rail current collectors, the B 108 features silicone-insulated copper round strands that are extremely flexible, allowing easy installation even in confined spaces. The translucent insulation enables quick visual inspection of the conductor’s condition, while an additional copper support braid under the insulation provides reinforcement for applications exposed to high mechanical stress.
