Notes: See Tyco specification RT 1804 for full RPS performance & dimensional details.
Some types of neoprene insulation used in jackets contain additives that can migrate to the surface and
discolor the polyolefin RPS sleeves. Any discoloration is dependent on the composition of the neoprene,
combined with application conditions. Users should independently evaluate the suitability of RPS sleeves
for applications involving neoprene-jacketed cables.
