HYflex™ power distribution cables are specifically engineered to handle the high voltage and temperatures inherent with today’s diesel hybrid vehicles. Independently tested to meet the requirements of SAE J 1654 and 1127, the HYflex™ line of cables is rated for use at 125°C and up to 600 volts.

HYflex™ incorporates a uniquely designed, high performance compound specifically formulated for use in heavy duty diesel hybrid vehicles and extra flexible conductors to produce cables ideally suited for applications where flexibility, long life and performance is critical. Its extreme flexibility facilitates easy installation in tight engine compartments and other confined areas.

Available in standard conductor sizes from 8 AWG through 250 kCMA, HYflex™ Power Distribution Cables can be configured to meet your specific requirements.

Engineers Ask: HYflex™ Power Distribution Cables FAQs

What makes HYflex™ different from XLPO-insulated cable?

HYflex™ offers substantial improvement in flexibility over XLPO-insulated cables.

Is the added flexibility really beneficial?

When installing cables in the tight spaces of an engine compartment and the need exists to easily push and bend the cable within confined areas, absolutely.

Why was HYflex™ designed specifically for diesel hybrid vehicles?

HYflex™ was designed as a specific cable solution to the challenges faced both in installation and operation of diesel hybrid vehicles that have limited space in engine compartments and operate in an environment that demands performance even with high and low temperatures, high voltage, and exposure to chemicals.

Can HYflex™ be used outside of heavy-duty hybrid vehicle applications?

Yes, Hyflex™ power distribution cables can be used in any application that requires flexibility, chemical resistance, and performance over a wide temperature range – and peace of mind for automotive high-voltage requirements.
