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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

No-Conduit-Required Control Cable
- 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.

Thin-Insulation Control Cable
- 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.
