Flat Control Cable
- Use For: Automation
- Flexible
- Temperature Range: -40° to 220° F
- Insulation: PVC Plastic
Also known as festoon cable, this flat cable fits in confined spaces and withstands period flexing and bending, such as in overhead cranes and hoists. Use it to operate, measure, or regulate automated equipment. The PVC insulation resists oil and UV light. It’s flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.

Ribbon Cable
- Use For: Automation, Data, Panel and Equipment (Hook-Up)
- Ultra Flexible
- Temperature Range: 0° to 175° F
- Insulation: PVC Plastic
Often used in electronic prototyping or in the interior of computers, this flat cable is ultra flexible with small-gauge wires so it fits in tight spaces. Unlike standard flat control cable, the wires are bonded together without an overall insulation, so they can be easily separated for installation. Cable is flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.
