Dura-Flex® Type W Multi-Conductor

Multi-Conductor Power Cable

Direct’s Dura-Flex Type W Multi-Conductor cable is built for both permanent and temporary power applications. Available in 2, 3, and 4 conductor configurations with color-coded conductors and a durable round bound-core design, it offers strength and flexibility across demanding environments.

The cable features thick synthetic rubber insulation and a jacket that resists oil, chemicals, and water. It supports 2,000-volt AC power and is ideal for use with Cam-Lok™ connectors in feeder cables, extensions, and assemblies.

Common in industrial, rental, and emergency settings, Dura-Flex is used in generators, battery leads, shore power, mining, HVAC, and power distribution.

UL Only Listed Benefits
  • Superior jacket wall concentricity
  • Reduced jacket wall thickness
  • Reduced Final Outside Diameter
  • Increased Flexibility (due to thinner jacket wall and not having a binder tape)
  • Superior cable strip-ability for termination (due to thinner jacket wall, type of fillers we use and not having to remove binder tape)
Jacket Colors
  • Black (Standard) Blue Brown Green Orange Red White Yellow
Marking Options
  • Quick Print®
