Long-Life Continuous-Flex Wire
Metallic Tinsel
- Use for automation, continuous motion
- Continuous Flex

Carbon Fiber: 0° to 140° F
Metallic Tinsel: -20° to 175° F - Insulation:
Carbon Fiber: PVC Plastic
Metallic Tinsel: Polypropylene Plastic
The strands in this wire have better fatigue resistance under repeated flexing than the copper strands in standard continuous-flex wire, so it will last longer. Often used in low-current signaling in automated applications such as robotics, it withstands continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission.
Metallic tinsel wire has thin strands of metal wrapped around a fiber core to provide better flexibility and longer service life than carbon fiber wire. Wire with a Kevlar plastic core has 7 strands.
