Continuous-Flex Cable

Unshielded

Shielded

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.

Shielded cable has a layer of braid that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.

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.

Long-Life Continuous-Flex Cable

Use For: Automation, Continuous Motion
Continuous Flex
Temperature Range: -30° to 175° F
Insulation:
Outer: Polyurethane Rubber
Inner: TPE Rubber

With a life span of more than 20 million high-speed flex cycles, this cable lasts twice as long as standard continuous-flex cable so you have to replace cable less frequently. Often used in automated applications such as robotics and cable carriers, it withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission. The polyurethane rubber insulation resists abrasion, chemicals, and oil.

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.

Unshielded

Double Shielded

Use For:
Unshielded: Automation
Double Shielded: Automation, Interference Shielding
Flexible
Temperature Range: -10° to 190° F
Insulation:
Outer: PVC Plastic
Inner: Nylon/PVC Plastic Blend

This cable meets TC-ER crush and impact requirements for exposed runs in cable carriers, so it can be used without conduit. It withstands period flexing and bending, sends signal and data to operate, measure, or regulate automated equipment. The PVC insulation resists oil. It’s flame rated FT4 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with material mounted to a vertical tray.

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

Double shielded cable has a layer of braid and foil shielding that provides excellent protection against signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.

Space-Saver Control Cable

Unshielded

Double Shielded

Use For:
Unshielded: Automation
Double Shielded: Automation, Interference Shielding
Flexible
Temperature Range: -40° to 220° F
Insulation: Modified Polyphenylene Ether (mPPE) Plastic

Nearly two-thirds the diameter of standard control cable, this cable fits in tight spaces. The modified polyphenylene ether (mPPE) insulation is less than half the weight of the PVC insulation found on standard control cable, yet is more abrasion and cut resistant. Use it to send signal and data to operate, measure, or regulate automated equipment that requires cable to periodically flex and bend. It’s often used with conveyors, CNC machines, and to connect equipment to a control panel. Cable is flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.

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

Double shielded cable has a layer of braid and foil shielding that provides excellent protection against signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.

Power Cords

Plug × Wire Leads

90° Elbow Plug × Wire Leads

NEMA 5-15 Plug

Cords with a 90° elbow plug fit flush against a wall outlet, so they fit behind machinery or in areas where space is tight.

SJEOW cords have an oil- and water-resistant insulation.

The insulation on SJTW cords resists water.

Use SJT cords in dry or damp locations.

Light Duty Power Cords

SPT

SJT

NEMA 5-15 Plug

Designed for indoor applications, these cords are often used to power appliances.

SPT cords have a flat cord shape so they fit in tight spaces. The numbers 1, 2, and 3 indicate the relative thickness of the insulation. SPT-3 is the thickest, so it is less flexible but more durable than -1 and -2 cords.

Use SJT cords in dry or damp locations.
