–25°C to +50°C
–13°F to +122°F
Cable Temperature Rating 80°C / 176°F (internal operating temp)
Warnings:
1. Do not extend the spring coils below 0°C. Do not extend the coils
farther than 2x compressed length below 10°C, or 3x compressed
length above 10°C. Avoid extension above 3x compressed length
because this can cause a permanent stretching of the coil.
2. Make sure that no spring force is applied to the DX BUS connector;
fasten a strain relief or cable tie on or near to the coiled section of
the cable.
