So that accomplishes the same physical protection and cable insulation duties of the old cable?

[PlatinumZealot]

Yes. It's lighter, tougher and higher dielectric strength. It should be good for KERS too, since KERS is high voltage. Maybe they are already using it in F1. Would be good for someone to confirm it.
