Retractability (force of retraction or coil memory)
Cable should fully retract with high spring force
Cable will be extended for long periods of time (days, weeks, months)
Specify:

Flex Life
 

Shielding

None Aluminum/mylar foil Drain wire
Braided (box weave) => Specify % coverage

Dimensions

Please specify feet/inches or meters/millimeters – refer to the dimension reference drawings below.
• Extended length in normal use
• Retracted length (dimension A)
  (note: normal extended length is 5 times the retracted length for most designs)  
   
• Coil outside diameter (dimension B)
Critical dimension? No (use standard) Yes (specify
max and/or min)
   
• Cable outside diameter (dimension D)
Critical Dimension? No (use standard) Yes (specify
max and/or min)
 
Note: The overall cable diameter (dimension D) relies heavily on the internal cabling and the outer jacket material and required thickness.
• Ends
E1 end Tangential Axial to coil
E1 dimension (overall length before stripping)
         
E2 end Tangential Axial to coil
E2 dimension (overall length before stripping)
Measurements Tangential and Axial ends
Note: Northwire offers cable stripping and special terminating services. Please call us for more information on cable-end prep and finishing.
 

Commercial
Estimated annual usage (number of individual cords)
Multiple releases? No Yes (release size / number of individual cords)
Scheduled releases? No Yes (anticipated release intervals days, weeks, months)
