About Wire and Cable

Use for solar equipment, automation, continuous motion
Continuous Flex
Temperature Range: -85° to 325° F
Insulation: Silicone Rubber

A thick insulation protects this wire from high voltages while maintaining flexibility. The insulation also resists moisture. Often used in automated applications such as robotics, it withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission. It meets UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance.

High-Voltage Continuous-Flex Flat Cable

Use For: Automation, Continuous Motion
Continuous Flex
Temperature Range: -85° to 325° F
Insulation: Silicone Rubber

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. With a flat shape, it’s good for tight spaces. It meets UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance.

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.

Duct-Rated Coaxial Cable

Double Shielded

Shielded

Use For: Audio, Data, Interference Shielding, Video
Flexible
Max. Temperature: 300° F
Insulation: PVDF Plastic

Also known as plenum cable, this CL2P and CMP cable has low-smoke insulation and can be used without conduit in duct work and above a drop ceiling. Use it to transmit audio, video, and data signals.

RG-6/U cable is good for medium to high frequency transmissions and is often used in satellite signal transmission. RG-58/U and RG-59/U cable is good for low frequency transmissions such as radio signals. RG-62A/U cable is often used in computer networks and electronics.

Shielded cable has a layer of braid that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. Double shielded cable has a layer of braid and foil shielding for better protection against signal interference than foil alone. Use it in environments with high signal distortion, such as near transformers, generators, and heavy duty motors.
