Shielded cable has a layer of braid that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.
Choose cable with PVC plastic outer insulation for general purpose indoor applications. Their protective layer resists abrasion, though it has the highest bend radius compared to other materials.
CE marked cable meets European health, safety, and environmental protection requirements.
Bend radius is the point to which the cable will bend without being damaged. It is measured from the center of the bend to the edge of the cable. The smaller the radius, the more the cable can bend.

High-Voltage Continuous-Flex Flat Cable
- Use For: Automation, Continuous Motion
- Continuous Flex
- Temperature Range: -85° to 325° F
- Insulation: Silicone Rubber
A thick outer layer of silicone rubber insulation protects this cable from high voltages while remaining ultra flexible. You'll often see this cable used in harsh environments with tight turns, from robotics and aerospace to oil rigging, because it won't break down from chemicals, oil, moisture, or UV light. It stands up to continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission.
This cable meets UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance. If it is exposed to flames, it minimizes how much smoke and halogen it releases. It also meets clean room standards because it releases minimal particles into the air.
Bend radius is the point to which the cable will bend without being damaged. It is measured from the center of the bend to the edge of the cable. The smaller the measurement, the tighter the bend.

The inner insulation is modified polyphenylene ether (mPPE), making the cable nearly half the weight of standard continuous-flex cable. Often used in automated applications such as robotics and cable carriers, it withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission.
Bend radius is the point to which the cable will bend without being damaged. It is measured from the center of the bend to the edge of the cable. The smaller the measurement, the tighter the bend.

Industrial Communication-Standard Cable
- Use For:
Flexible: Data, Interference Shielding
Continuous Flex: Data, Interference Shielding, Automation, Continuous Motion - Insulation: See Table
Connect devices such as sensors, programmable logic controllers, and actuators to an automated network. Choose the communication standard that matches your existing network.
Use continuous-flex cable in automated applications that require continuous motion, such as robotics.
Choose cable with PVC plastic outer insulation for general purpose indoor applications. Its protective layer resists abrasion, though it contains halogen. It’s also less flexible than cable with TPE rubber insulation. Cable with TPE rubber outer insulation has a halogen-free protective layer that is more flexible and resists abrasion better than other materials. It also stands up to extreme temperatures and chemicals, making it good for use in harsh outdoor environments.
Double shielded cable has a layer of braid and foil shielding for better protection against signal interference than foil alone. Use it in environments with high signal distortion, such as near transformers, generators, and heavy duty motors.
Flame rated cable meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test. VW-1 cable is suspended vertically during testing.
