coarse building wire strands, it is critical to use properly sized compression terminals or control lugs. Ensure that all strands are fully contained within the lug barrel before crimping to prevent loose connections or fraying, which can degrade signal\/power transmission and cause localized heating failures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"18\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"18\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCABLE TYPE:\u003c\/b\u003e 14 AWG Single-Conductor Flexible 2000V Diesel Locomotive Power Cable (Black CPE Jacket)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"20\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"20\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eDISCLAIMER:\u003c\/b\u003e The technical information provided is for general reference only.
