SOW CABLE

SERVICE. OIL AND WATER RESISTANCE

SOW Cable:  Deciphering the acronym.Break the abbreviations apart, and it’s easy to see why SO, SOW and SOOW cables are so popular.  All are multiconductor cables that power a multitude of sources and all are in-stock at Delco Wire and Cable.  Read on to discover what makes these cables so popular to contractors and assembly-line specialists alike.

• Service – All the SO hybrids begin with this word.  It indicates the nature of these cables; they service the item they are intended to power. 
• Oil Resistance – The designation “SO” denotes a cable that, when put into service, will remain oil-resistant.  This is beneficial, but becomes even hardier with the addition of a “W” to the acronym.
• Water Resistance – A strong casing keeps the cable from letting water in that might short a circuit.  SOW cables are used to power mining applications, bulldozers, conveyors, temporary lighting, submersibles, pump applications and more.
• Other Substances (Chemical Resistance) – One of the toughest cables Delco carries is the SOOW, which stands up to the test of acetone and diesel fuels.  There’s no need to worry that caustic chemicals will eat through these casings.  They are solid, letting power through and keeping chemicals out.

From the basic SO cable to the specialized SOOW, these multi-conducting wonders offer portable, multipurpose power nestled in a single cable.  Call, fax or email Delco today to order custom-cut cables that fit your purpose.
