When you need Nylon Jacketed Cables… Amplex can supply on short lead times!
When you need nylon jacketed cables in very short time frames, Amplex can normally supply in less than 3 weeks. That’s superfast for these highly specialised cables. The range of nylon jacketed cables from Amplex have been used extensively on many infrastructure projects across Australia, including the Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal. In the northern parts of the […]
Best practices for EMC cables and glands used with variable speed drives
Variable speed drives (VSD) are used extensively in modern times, not only for speed control of motors, but also for efficiency. The downside is that the square wave DC output of a VSD causes electromagnetic interference (EMI) to occur. This occurrence can cause electrical and electronic devices nearby to malfunction or fail. Screened cables are […]
Cables in the sun – UV resistance in sheath materials
It’s a well known fact that Australia’s UV levels are much higher than other parts of the world such as Europe and North America. For electrical equipment such as cables this means UV resistance is an important factor. But what does UV stabilisation actually mean? And how can you ensure your cable installations will stand […]
IP Ratings Explained
The IP rating or code of a piece of equipment is an actual rating the equipment is tested to, in a laboratory certified by NATA or a MRA partner. According to the international standard IEC 60529 (ensconced in Australian Standards AS60529) IP Code classifies and rates the degrees of protection provided against the intrusion of […]

Terminating Aluminium Cables
With the recent increases in commodity materials prices, such as copper, aluminium cables are becoming a more attractive option for major electrical projects.Compared to copper, aluminium conductors have advantages in commercial considerations and engineering properties. Aluminium is around 70% cheaper, only 40% less conductive and 70% lighter. However, terminating Aluminium cables takes care and consideration. […]
