摘要: Disclosed is type THHN cable having a reduced surface coefficient of friction, and the method manufacture thereof, in which central conductor core insulating layer are surrounded by nylon sheath. A high viscosity, molecular weight silicone based pulling lubricant for cable, or alternatively, erucamide stearyl small gauge wire, incorporated, alternate methods, with material from outer sheath extruded, effective to reduce required force on during installation.
