About Wire and Cable

Drop-Down Cable

Often used to wire pendant switches, this cable hangs from an overhead connection. It’s also known as bus drop cable.

The PVC insulation resists abrasion, chemicals, and oil.

Cable with strain relief has galvanized steel strain cables on the sides to provide strength and reduce the stress caused by equipment hanging from cable. Use the strain relief hardware (sold separately) to secure equipment to the cable.

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.

Oil-Resistant Continuous-Flex Cable

This cable has an insulation with excellent resistance to oil, so it can be used near motors and equipment that require oil lubrication. Often used in automated applications such as robotics and cable carriers, it 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.

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.

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.

No-Conduit-Required Control Cable

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 periodic 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.

Thin-Insulation 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.

Shielded Micro M12 Screw-Together Connectors

Block signal interference from nearby devices, such as motors and transmitters, while maintaining a strong, stable connection for M12 threads. The shielding on these connectors maintains signal integrity and minimizes signal loss between equipment. The threaded housing creates a secure connection that withstands the shaking and vibrating of industrial automation.

A-coded, these connectors are often used to connect equipment to IO Link controllers and devices within Profibus, DeviceNet, and other fieldbus systems. They work with both AC and DC devices such as sensors, motors, and light curtains. Poles and keyways on their face adhere to standard coding layouts to reduce the chance you’ll mismatch connections.

Connectors with polyurethane outer insulation are halogen free, so they won’t release toxic fumes or cause corrosion in metal. Polyurethane resists chemicals, oil, and UV rays, and is very flexible. It’s good for use in industrial environments and robotics.

All meet IP ratings when either mated or capped. IP67 rated connectors are protected from dust and temporary submersion.

Add caps to protect connectors and maintain their IP ratings when not in use.

Note: They may have extra holes on the face that are not used.
