Flammability control for electrical cables and connectors

Technique of covering fire-hazardous sections of electrical wiring with fireproof materials prevents fires from spreading in oxygen-enriched atmospheres and eliminates use of heavy metal enclosures. Materials used to cover potting on connectors and ground terminals are made from Teflon-coated Beta cloth and Fluorel, a nonflammable fully-saturated polymer.
