ALL WIRE IS CUT TO LENGTH — RETURNS ARE NOT ACCEPTED
Standard-wall extruded ETFE insulation, also known as Tefzel, over a
tin-plated copper conductor. Built for aerospace and other work that needs low
weight, tight diameter tolerance and mechanical toughness, and it stands up
well to chemicals and radiation. Also specified as SAE AS22759/16 and
MS22759/16.
