Coiled Cable
After extending to full length to provide added reach, this cable retracts and self-coils for tangle-free storage. It's often used with hand tools and other portable devices.
Ultra-flexible cable extends and retracts more easily than flexible cable.
SJOW, SOW, SJEOW, and SEOW cable have an oil- and water-resistant outer insulation. SJOW and SOW have a multipurpose neoprene insulation.
- Use For: Outdoors, Power Supply
- Ultra Flexible
- Temperature Range: -40° to 190° F
- Insulation:
Outer: Neoprene Rubber
Inner: EPDM Rubber
Abrasion-Resistant Cable
- Use For:
Unshielded: Motors, Power Supply
Shielded: Motors, Power Supply, Interference Shielding - Flexible
- Temperature Range: -20° to 190° F
- Insulation:
Outer: Polyurethane Rubber
Inner: PVC Plastic
A thick insulation resists cuts and abrasion, so this cable can be pulled over rough surfaces without damaging the wires inside. Made of polyurethane rubber, the insulation also resists chemicals, moisture, oil, solvents, and water. 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.

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. 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.
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.
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.
- Use For: Automation, Continuous Motion
- Continuous Flex
- Temperature Range: 25° to 155° F
- Inner Insulation:

Data Communication Cable
- Use For: Data, Interference Shielding
- Flexible
- Outer Insulation: PVC Plastic
Connect computers, CNC machines, and other equipment that requires complex data and signal transmission. This double-shielded cable has both braid and foil for the highest level of protection against signal interference. Use it in areas with high signal distortion, such as near transformers, generators, and motors. This CM-designated cable is flame rated for general purpose applications, such as in-wall installation or use between equipment on shop floors. It’s also rated VW-1 to keep fire from spreading. This cable has an uninsulated ground wire that is not counted in the number of wires.

Control Cable
- Use For:
Unshielded: Automation
Shielded: Automation; Interference Shielding - Flexible
- Temperature Range: 45° to 190° F
- Insulation: PVC Plastic
Send signal and data to operate, measure, or regulate automated equipment that requires cable to periodically flex and bend. This cable is often used with conveyors, CNC machines, and to connect equipment to a control panel. The PVC insulation resists oil. 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.

Ribbon Cable
- Use For: Automation, Data, Panel and Equipment (Hook-Up)
- Ultra Flexible
- Temperature Range: 0° to 175° F
- Insulation: PVC Plastic
Often used in electronic prototyping or in the interior of computers, this flat cable is ultra flexible with small-gauge wires so it fits in tight spaces. Unlike standard flat control cable, the wires are bonded together without an overall insulation, so they can be easily separated for installation. Cable is flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.
