In today’s world of global activities, applications of cables in any climate in the world is
critical to the integrity of your electrical systems. If the cable fails your system fails. The
cables you install to power your systems must be capable of withstanding environmental
abuses of abrasion, heat, cold petroleum chemicals, and harsh handling.
Bronco125™ cables are designed to meet the challenges of your system anywhere in the
world. Bronco125™ cables gives you excellent flexibility and superior operating
temperature ranges from +125°C to -65°C.
Bronco125™ value-to-cost ratio is very high. Bronco125™ cables are intended for users
who requires maximum dependability with minimum replacement and down-time
expenses.

TO BRONCO 125™ / FROM BRONCO 66
The BRONCO 66 cable line was originally developed in the 1940's, and the
BRONCO 66 trade name came to be synonymous with exceptional quality.
PHILATRON is a direct descent of the individuals who originally developed
BRONCO 66 cables. With over 100 years of expertise in flexible power cables
PHILATRON has embraced the concept of advancing state-of-the-art in wire, cable and a whole series of innovative new
products meeting current and projected market demands in a wide range of industries.
As the technology of wire and cable has been refined over the years, PHILATRON is proud to introduce BRONCO 125™
in a whole new series of cables superior to BRONCO 66 cables.
In today’s world of global activities, applications of cables in any climate of the world is critical to the integrity of your
electrical system. If the cable fails your system fails. The cables you install to power your systems must be capable of
withstanding environmental abuses of abrasion, heat, cold, petroleum, chemicals, and harsh handling.
BRONCO 125™ cables are designed to meet the challenges of your system anywhere in the world. These cables are
extraordinarily tough with superior conductor’s insulation and outer protecting jacket which exhibits the best physical
properties in the industry.
BRONCO 125™ Mining Cables and Portable Power Cables are made of PHILATRON’s exclusive proprietary
thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) advanced synthetic rubber, that gives maximum protection from oil and other petroleum
products, corrosive chemicals, ozone, flame, ultraviolet rays, abrasion, cutting, and crushing.
BRONCO 125™ cables gives you excellent flexibility and superior operating temperature ranges from +125°C to -65°C.
BRONCO 125™ value-to-cost ratio is very high. BRONCO 125™ cables are intended for users who requires maximum
dependability with minimum replacement and down-time expenses.
BRONCO 125™ cables are engineered and manufactured to meet the applicable specifications of ASTM (American
Society for Testing Materials), CSA (Canadian Standard Association), ICEA (Insulated Cable Engineers Association),
MIL SPECS (US Military), MSHA (Mine Safety and Health Administration), NEC (National Electric Code), NEMA
(National Electrical Manufacturers Association), OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration), and UL
(Underwriters Laboratories).

BRONCO-125™ Provides Superior:
- Oil Resistance
- High/Low Temperature
- Heat Aging
- Ozone Resistance
- Chemical Resistance
- Abrasion Resistance
- Mechanical Strength
- Lighter Weight
LOWER TEMPERATURE FLEXIBILITY
BRONCO-125™ rubber flexible cord jackets resist cracking
to lower temperatures than either thermoset Neoprene or
thermoset rubber. The following are results of bend tests:

GREATER OZONE RESISTANCE
Ozone as generated around most electrical equipment can
cause cracking in most conventional rubbers. BRONCO-
125™ rubber has excellent resistance to cracking caused by
ozone. Below are results of bent loop ozone aging tests of
flexible cord jackets.

BRONCO-125™ rubber resists cracking and brittleness
caused by heat far better than Neoprene or rubber.
Comparative heat aging at 250EF. is shown
TOUGHER ABRASION RESISTANCE
Shown below are comparative grinding wheel type abrasion
test results on flexible cord jackets. Again, BRONCO-125™
rubber outperforms Neoprene and rubber flexible cordjackets.
SUPERIOR MECHANICAL STRENGTH
One measure of the mechanical strength of a flexible cord is
resistance to failure under a crushing load. Below are results of
crushing strength tests for flexible cords.
