About Wire and Cable

Shielded Stretchable Wire

The shielding in this wire blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. When pulled lengthwise, it extends 40% and then returns to its original length, so it's useful for high-vibration applications.

Stretchable Wire

When pulled lengthwise, this unshielded wire extends 40% and then returns to its original length, so it's useful for high-vibration applications.

Continuous-Flex Wire

Often used in automated applications such as robotics, this wire withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission.

Long-Life Continuous-Flex Wire

The thin strands in this wire have better fatigue resistance under repeated flexing than the strands in standard continuous-flex wire, so it will last longer.

High-Voltage Continuous-Flex Wire

Use this wire in automated applications that require 14,000 volts A/C or greater. It withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission.

Chemical-Resistant Continuous-Flex Wire

The TPE insulation on this wire resists most chemicals, including oil and coolant, and withstands continuous motion.

Cable

Stretchable Cable

This cable can be stretched by about 40% and return to its original length, making it useful for applications where cable is in motion. It's often sewn into garments or used with equipment that must be worn.

Miniature Cable

Often used in computers, small electronics, and electronic prototyping, this cable is very flexible with small gauge wire to handle tight curves in narrow spaces.

Continuous-Flex Cable

Often used in automated applications such as robotics and cable carriers, this cable withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission.

Oil-Resistant Continuous-Flex Cable

The insulation has excellent resistance to oil, so this cable can be used near motors. Often used in automated applications, it withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission

No-Conduit-Required Continuous-Flex Cable

Use this cable without conduit in automated applications—it meets crush and impact requirements for exposed runs in cable carriers, and withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission.

High-Voltage Continuous-Flex Flat Cable

Rated to 17,000 volts AC or higher, this cable is often used in oil drilling, robotics, and festoon systems. It withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission. The flat shape allows it to fit in tight spaces.

Continuous-Flex and -Twist Robotics Cable

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.

Servomotor Continuous-Flex Cable

Connect servocontrollers and servomotors in automated equipment and on assembly lines. This cable withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission.

Long-Life Continuous-Flex Cable

With a life span of more than 20 million high-speed flex cycles, this cable lasts twice as long as standard continuous-flex cable. The frequent motion will not degrade data or signal transmission.

Space-Saver Continuous-Flex Cable

For use in tight spaces, this cable has up to a 40% smaller OD than standard continuous-flex cable. It withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission.

Continuous-Flex Data Communication Cable

Often used to send signal and data to order pickers and cranes, this cable withstands continuous motion applications without degrading data or signal transmission.

Industrial Communication-Standard Cable

Connect devices such as sensors, programmable logic controllers, and actuators to an automated network.

Continuous-Flex Ethernet Cable

Often used in automated applications that require continuous motion, this cable sends data between computers, servers, and switches without degrading signal transmission.

Data, Audio, and Video Cords

Continuous-Flex Ethernet Cords

Often used in automated applications such as robotics, these cords withstand continuous motion without degrading data transmission. They have an RJ45 plug on each end.

High-Temperature Continuous-Flex USB Cords

Often used in robotics, packaging, conveyors, and other applications with constant movement and high temperatures, these silicone rubber cords bend and flex at temperatures up to 325° F.

Continuous-Flex USB Cords

Often used in automated applications such as robotics, these cords withstand continuous motion without degrading data transmission.

Continuous-Flex Coaxial Cords

Often used in automated applications such as robotics, these cords withstand continuous motion without degrading data transmission.

Siemens-Compatible Servomotor M23 Connectors

Choose a socket that works with your Siemens servomotor system.

Wire, Cable, and Hose Routing & Protecting

Continuous-Flex Abrasion-Resistant Heat-Shrink Tubing

Often used in automated applications such as robotics, this highly flexible silicone rubber tubing withstands continuous motion without cracking and tearing. It resists abrasion and can be dragged over rough surfaces without damage.

Fittings for Continuous-Flex Liquid-Tight Plastic Conduit

These fittings seal out liquid when used with continuous-flex liquid-tight plastic conduit.

Fittings for Continuous-Flex Plastic Conduit

One end twists into a piece of conduit for a quick connection; the other end attaches to a knockout in an outlet box or enclosure.
