FOOTNOTES for Table:
- Copper Polyester (CuPET) Tape - shielding foil which prevents electromagnetic and electrostatic interference
- FEP Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene - good chemical resistance and thermal stability
- XLPE Cross-linked Polyethylene - good impact strength, abrasive / chemical resistance and thermal stability
- PVC Polyvinyl Chloride - durable and chemical/corrosive resistant
- Silver covered copper multi strand (16), conductivity and high corrosion resistance
- Tinned copper wire multi strand (16), soft drawn tinned copper - low resistance
