About Wire and Cable

High-Temperature Cable

The insulation on this cable withstands high-heat applications such as ovens and furnaces. The wires are silver or nickel plated for corrosion resistance.

Shielded cable has a layer of braid that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. It has PTFE outer and inner insulation that resists chemicals, oil, abrasion, and moisture.

Continuous-Flex Cable

Unshielded

Often used in automated applications such as robotics and cable carriers, this cable withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission. It’s flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material. Rated for use in ISO Class 1 or ISO Class 2 clean rooms, this cable releases minimal particles into the air, helping you to maintain the cleanest possible environment.

Use unshielded cable in applications where signal interference is not a concern.

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.

Continuous-Flex and -Twist Robotics Cable

Unshielded

Use For:
Unshielded: Automation, Continuous Motion
Shielded: Automation, Continuous Motion, Interference Shielding
Continuous Flex
Temperature Range:
300V AC, 600V AC: -40° to 175° F
1,000V AC: -10° to 175° F
Insulation:
Outer: Polyurethane Rubber
Inner: TPE Rubber

In addition to handling continuous movement, this cable withstands twisting up to 450° without degrading data or signal transmission. It's often used in welding robots and rotary tables. It’s flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flame based on a timed test with vertically suspended material. The polyurethane rubber insulation resists abrasion and oil.

Use unshielded cable in applications where signal interference is not a concern.

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.
