Data Communication Cable
- Use For: Data, Interference Shielding
- Flexible
- Outer Insulation: PVC Plastic
Connect computers, CNC machines, and other equipment that requires complex data and signal transmission. This double-shielded cable has both braid and foil for the highest level of protection against signal interference. Use it in areas with high signal distortion, such as near transformers, generators, and motors. This CM-designated cable is flame rated for general purpose applications, such as in-wall installation or use between equipment on shop floors. It’s also rated VW-1 to keep fire from spreading. This cable has an uninsulated ground wire that is not counted in the number of wires.

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.
Communication and Security System Cable
Often used for intercoms, speakers, and security systems, this cable is designated as CM and CL2 or CMG, so the insulation is flame resistant and approved for in-wall installation in single-level facilities.
Shielded cable has a layer of foil that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. It has an uninsulated ground wire is not counted in the number of wires.
