    Deliver precise signals through compact areas. This cable is ideal for continuous motion in small, automated equipment, such as the micro gantry in a 3D printer. It will last for millions of flex cycles while reliably transmitting signals. Its finely stranded conductors are twisted together like a rope to resist wear from constant bending.
    Shielded—A single layer of shielding protects sensitive electronics and control systems by blocking electromagnetic interference (EMI). Otherwise, equipment such as motors and pumps could distort signals.
