Cable Application
Neoprene sheathed flat cables are designed to be used as electrical supply to moving machine components. This cable is weatherproof and thus suitable for use under adverse ambient conditions, e.g. for outdoor installation in shipyards, conveying equipment, on cranes and hoisting gear. These cables are extremely flexible and are typically used in applications with high mechanical stress and frequent bending in one plane. The copper screening of the individual cores provides transmission of data and signals without other electrical interference (EMC). It is suitable in low temperatures.
