Data Sheet RX-C Self-Regulating Cable

General
Information

Technical Data

The Danfoss RX-C self-regulating heating cable
provides a continuous drain path for melting ice and
snow to leave a roof through the gutters and into the
down spouts. The power output of the
conductive core material increases or decreases
in response to ambient temperature changes
and occurs at every point along the length of the
cable such that power output adjusts to the varying
conditions along the length of the pipe. The self­regulating eect means the cable can be overlapped
without creating hot spots or causing a burn out.

Maximum energy eciency is ensured by producing heat only when and where it is needed. The
Danfoss RX-C can be cut to length at the job site, simplifying installation and reducing waste. Two
jackets - an inner jacket bonded to the core and a thermoplastic elastomer insulation jacket provides
an excellent dielectric strength and in combination with the over jacket provides excellent moisture
resistance and protection from impact and abrasion damage.

• 100% aluminum foil screen

• Tough UV-rated cable will withstand the harshest conditions

• Durable high quality materials provide excellent moisture, corrosion and impact protection

• Ten year limited warranty
