Harsh Operating Environments Require DLO Cables Manufactured for Longer Service Life
AmerCable’s 2000V Diesel Locomotive Cable (DLO) is a single-conductor portable power cable suitable for use in applications needing great flexibility, excellent wearability and good flex life.
Applications include locomotive and car equipment, motor and generator leads, battery leads, shipyards, telecommunications power, heavy earth-moving equipment, renewable energy and other heavy-duty flexing applications.
AmerCable’s DLO features a two-layer composite of flame retardant, oil and sunlight resistant Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) outer layer and Ethylene-Propylene rubber (EPR) inner layer.
UL and CSA approved.
AmerCable has the shortest lead times and is best at on-time delivery for DLO power cables!
DLO is the Backbone
Cable of Industry.
AmerCable DLO is a flexible, high-strand, extra-durable power cable used in a wide range of heavy-duty industrial and power applications. It is one of the most widely used cables used in industiral applications, including:
- Power Distribution – Used in data centers, mills, steel plants, refineries and other energy-demanding environments.
- Temporary or Portable Power – DLO is ideals for generators, large equipment and for construction power distribution.
- Shipyards & Marine Applications – DLO is esistant to oils, fuels and moisture.
- Renewable Energy – DLO is used in solar farms and wind turbines because of its flexibility and toughness.
- Locomotives & Rail Applications – Its name comes from being designed to withstand the vibration, heat, oil, and abrasion inside diesel locomotives.
