Designed by RADIALL, ECO316D is an
advantageous alternative solution to RD316:
• Advantageous in term of electrical
performance:
its optimized construction allows
better attenuation and screening effectiveness
than RD316.
• Advantageous in term of environmental
aspect:
halogen and sulphur free, this cable
does not emit any toxic substance when
submitted to fire. The flame retardant jacket
allows ECO316D to meet fire resistance
standards.
• Advantageous in term of price: ECO316D
design has integrated all RADIALL knowledge
to reach the best performances with a very
competitive price.
ECO316D is UL style 1375 approved.
This cable is compatible with a large range
of connector series.

Designed by RADIALL, ECO316DX is an
advantageous alternative solution to ECO316D
when higher power level is required:
• Advantageous in term of electrical
performance:
the crosslink foam polyethylene
used as dielectric material allows higher
temperature level (thus power range) than
ECO316D.
• Advantageous in term of environmental
aspect:
halogen and sulphur free, this cable
does not emit any toxic substance when
submitted to fire. The flame retardant jacket
allows ECO316DX to meet fire resistance
standards.
• Advantageous in term of price:

design has integrated all RADIALL knowledge
to reach the best performances with a very
competitive price.
ECO316DX is UL style 1375 and 3651 approved.
This cable is compatible with a large range
