LAN & military coax
Multi-Pair Cables |
| Foil-Free Edge Laminates | Film/Film/Foil composite with extended film edge that overlaps foil width | Non-conductive foil-free edge; saves cost of stocking two tapes | Shielding of multi-conductor & multi-pair cables such as process control, computer, or instrumentation cables |
| HIGH-DRAW Laminates | NEPTCO-designed high performance adhesive that greatly increases draw capability | Provides for greater elongation and improved shielding for flexible cabling; virtually eliminates foil breakup and pinholes | Robotics; retractable cables; instrumentation systems; computer & data processing equipment; audio, sound & control cables. |
| FIREFITE Flame-retardant Laminates | Family of shielding tapes that uses NEPTCO's proprietary "low smoke" adhesives and films. | Provides shielding with reduced smoke generation; protects cable core from heat & flame | Plenum and fire alarm cables; indoor/outdoor cables that require riser or plenum ratings per UL |
| High Temperature Tapes | Shielding tapes constructed with high temperature resistant materials | Withstands high temperature processing or extreme end use environments without losing product stability | High temperature environments (+200°C) such as plenum, military & aerospace |
| Core wrap/Separator tapes | Single or multi-layer color films with optional adhesive coatings or films | Provides dielectric insulation and isolates pairs; maintains cable concentricity and firmness of conductor bundles; protects conductors from penetration of moisture, chemicals, or jacket compound. | Power, electronic, shipboard, and multi-pair telecommunications cables |
| Marker Identification Tapes | Single or multi-ply tapes indelibly printed on one or both sides; customized logos or print available | Permanently identifies type, manufacturer, date, sequential length and rating of cables; optional laminated polyester constructions resist abrasion, solvents, cable fillers, and high temp processing; wider width and heat sealable ID tapes can also function as core binder/ separator tapes. | Applications where cable jacket cannot be surface printed; shipboard, power, and military cables |
SLICKTAPE and other specialty coatings
| Various coatings available for applications requiring release or fusing properties | Releasable coatings that detach easily from cable jacket or core; fusible coatings that adhere to cable jacket or core; decreased water migration; better shielding; reduces scuffing damage from tooling and tape breakage | Cables exposed to the elements or installed in harsh environments; LAN and telecom cables; ANSI/IEEE 802.5 network cables |
