    I think the above is the data for the OLD Phillystran (stiff jacket and 
potted terminations required). Here's the current data for jacketed diameter:

HPTG 1200           0.17"       4MM
HPTG 2100           0.22"       6MM
HPTG 4000           0.30"       8MM
HPTG 6700           0.37"       9MM
HPTG 11200      0.44"       11MM
