Guide to Flexible Cable and Wire
Find the right industrial flexible cable for your applicationYou should know that there are flexible wire and cable distributors who specialize in helping you find flexible cable wire. And if they don’t have standard flexible cable in stock for you, many of the same distributors can make custom flexible wire products to meet your specifications. Regardless of the size, flexible cable falls into three main categories:
1. Industrial flexible cable
2. Flexible cable used for electronics
3. Specialty flexible cable
Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done
Determine what your flexible cable needs are
Decide what gauge flexible cable and wire you need, as well as what lengths you need to purchase. Also, note what conductivity you need in your wiring. Factor in the minimum and maximum temperatures under which the wire will operate. Finally, figure out what kind of connectors you need for your flexible wiring.
I recommend:
TIM-CO/CAL-RF offers an in-depth chart that compares different types of industrial flexible wire. This can be a helpful guide to deciding what kind of wiring you need. Lapp USA offers a cable specification tool that lets you enter various specs to locate just the right flexible cable for your needs.
Find the right flexible cable distributor to meet your needs
It's important to remember your bottom line when flexible cable, but price shouldn't be your only factor. Find flexible cable and wire distributors that offer good deals on shipping. You also want to find dealers who deliver flexible wire shipments on time, as promised. They should also stand behind their product with a written warranty.
I recommend:
With over 800 varieties of flexible cable to choose from, Igus, Inc. can probably supply the right cable for you. SAB North America offers products for automotive, electrical and electronic applications, in addition to any other product that requires repeated bending and flexing.
Work with a distributor to design custom flexible cables for your application
One example of custom flexible cables is a cable festoon. You can design the multiple strands of industrial wiring to carry exactly what you want, exactly where you want it. A festoon can perform the task repeatedly; and with flexible cables, it doesn't wear out.
I recommend:
Find cable festoons at Vahle Electrification Systems. Calvert Wire & Cable also offers cable festoons, along with other flexible cables.
Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide- Handle flexible wires properly. Uncoil the wiring from the spool according to the manufacturer's directions. Each cable must be able to move from side to side without coming in contact with the flexible wiring next to it. Even though flexible cable bends, it can break if mishandled.
