A push-pull cable assembly for use in high temperature environments, particularly for use with engines generating high temperatures in application, has a cable conduit with a natural nylon outer tubular element and a nylon inner tubular element helically wrapped by wires. Nylon 66 is preferred. A chromatic indicator is included in the outer element. Exposure to the elevated temperature environment for a long period of time causes the conduit to change from its original green color to dark brown as failure of the assembly becomes imminent. The cable assembly is replaced when the conduit turns dark tan or brown.
