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.

Servomotor Continuous-Flex Cable
- Use For: Automation, Continuous Motion, Interference Shielding, Motors
- Continuous Flex
- Temperature Range: -40° to 175° F
- Insulation:
Outer: Polyurethane Rubber
Inner: Polypropylene Plastic
Connect servocontrollers and servomotors in automated equipment and on assembly lines. This cable withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission. The polyurethane rubber insulation resists abrasion and oil. It’s flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.
Cable with signal wires is also known as feedback cable. It sends and receives signals between a servomotor and a PLC.
Shielded cable has a layer of braid that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.
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.

Ethernet Cable
- Use For:
Unshielded: Data; Category 3 can also be used for Telephones
Shielded, Double Shielded: Data, Interference Shielding - Flexible
- Insulation: PVC Plastic
Send data between computers, printers, servers, and switches in an office or workstation. This cable is backward compatible so it works in networks that meet the same or a lower category. Choose cable with a higher ethernet cable category for a clearer signal.
Use unshielded cable in applications where signal interference is not a concern.
Duct-Rated Ethernet Cable
- Use For:
Unshielded: Data
Shielded: Data, Interference Shielding - Flexible
- Insulation:
Outer: PVC Plastic
Inner: See table
Also known as plenum cable, this CMP cable has flame-resistant, low-smoke insulation and can be used without conduit in duct work and above a drop ceiling. Use it to send data between computers, printers, servers, and switches in an office. It’s backward compatible so it works in networks that meet the same or a lower category. Choose cable with a higher ethernet cable category for a clearer signal.
Use unshielded cable in applications where signal interference is not a concern.

Oil-Resistant Ethernet Cable
- Use For:
Unshielded: Data
Shielded: Data, Interference Shielding - Flexible
- Max. Temperature: 165° F
- Insulation: PVC Plastic
Transmit data in rough industrial applications. An additive in the PVC insulation gives this cable excellent resistance to oil and UV light. It’s backward compatible so it works in networks that meet the same or a lower category.
Use unshielded cable in applications where signal interference is not a concern.
Shielded cable has a layer of foil that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. It has an uninsulated ground wire that is not counted in the number of wires.
Duct-Rated Oil-Resistant Ethernet Cable
- Use For: Data
- Flexible
- Max. Temperature: 300° F
- Insulation: FEP Plastic
Also known as plenum cable, this cable is designated CMP, so it has low-smoke insulation and can be used without conduit in duct work and above a drop ceiling. The oil-resistant FEP insulation protects wires as the cable moves from duct to equipment or machinery. It also resists UV light. It’s backward compatible so it works in networks that meet the same or a lower category.
Continuous-Flex Data Communication Cable
- Use For: Automation, Continuous Motion, Data, Interference Shielding
- Continuous Flex
- Temperature Range:
PVC Plastic Insulation: 25° to 155° F
TPE Rubber Insulation: -30° to 210° F
Often used to send signal and data to order pickers and cranes, this cable withstands continuous motion applications without degrading data or signal transmission. In addition to a layer of braid shielding, it has twisted pairs of wires that cancel signal interference from multiple transmission lines. Suitable for clean rooms, it releases minimal particles into the air. It is CE marked as compliant with European health, safety, and environmental standards.
Cable with PVC insulation is for indoor use.
Cable with TPE rubber insulation is for outdoor use and resists coolant, oil, and UV light.
