GG1F46-4.0 1×0.56 F46-Insulated Stainless Steel Tube Armored Logging Cable
The GG1F46-4.0 1×0.56 is a single-core logging cable built with a stranded soft copper conductor, F46 insulation and two layers of 316L stainless steel tube protection. Its compact 4.0 mm nominal diameter makes it suitable for downhole logging systems where a small cable profile and mechanical protection are required.
The cable is specified for operation from -50°C to +232°C and has a rated tensile strength of 7 kN. The electrical specification includes a 300 VDC withstand voltage, insulation resistance of at least 500 MΩ·km at 20°C, DC resistance of no more than 33 Ω/km at 20°C, and capacitance of no more than 0.16 μF/km.

Detailed Product Introduction
- Downhole logging cables have to carry electrical signals while being handled, deployed and retrieved in a demanding well environment. A compact cable construction can be useful where available space is limited, while the outer protection needs to support the mechanical requirements of the operation. The GG1F46-4.0 1×0.56 uses a stranded soft copper conductor at its center. The conductor specification is 7 × 0.32 mm. Around the conductor is a 0.60 mm F46 insulation layer, followed by two 316L stainless steel tube layers. The inner stainless steel tube has a specified wall thickness of 0.30 mm, and the outer tube has a specified wall thickness of 0.40 mm. This layered construction forms the cable's compact armored body. The finished cable has a nominal diameter of 4.0 mm ± 0.05 mm and a weight in air of 79 kg/km. The specified operating temperature range is -50°C to +232°C, while the specified tensile strength is 7 kN. For electrical performance, the cable is specified for a 300 VDC withstand voltage. At 20°C, insulation resistance is ≥500 MΩ·km and DC resistance is ≤33 Ω/km. The specified capacitance is ≤0.16 μF/km.
