Cable
Use this general purpose cable to supply power to equipment.
For technical drawings and 3-D models, click on a part number.
- Use For: Outdoors, Power Supply
- Ultra Flexible
- Temperature Range:
Black: -40° to 190° F
Yellow: -55° to 220° F - Insulation: EPDM Rubber
Ultra-flexible cable is good for applications that require tight turns.
SOOW cable has an oil-resistant outer and inner insulation, and water-resistant outer insulation. The EPDM rubber insulation has good tensile strength.
Flame rated cable meets requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test. FT2 cable is suspended horizontally during testing.

High-Voltage Continuous-Flex Flat Cable
- Use For: Automation, Continuous Motion
- Continuous Flex
- Temperature Range: -85° to 325° F
- Insulation: Silicone Rubber
A thick outer layer of silicone rubber insulation protects this cable from high voltages while remaining ultra flexible. You'll often see this cable used in harsh environments with tight turns, from robotics and aerospace to oil rigging, because it won't break down from chemicals, oil, moisture, or UV light. It stands up to continuous motion without degrading data or signal transmission.
This cable meets UL 94 V-0 for flame retardance. If it is exposed to flames, it minimizes how much smoke and halogen it releases. It also meets clean room standards because it releases minimal particles into the air.
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.

Thermostat Cable
- Use For: Buildings
- Bend and Stay
- Temperature Range: 0° to 140° F
- Insulation:
Outer: PVC Plastic
Inner: Polyethylene Plastic
Hook up thermostats, air-conditioning units, and other low-voltage equipment. This cable is designated CL2 so it has flame-resistant insulation. The wires are solid so it stays in the shape you bend it.
