Hi-Flex Shielded Signal Cables are free of contaminants and halogens and are engineered to provide uninterrupted data transmission reliability, space efficiency, and consistent electrical characteristics. The cables are available in 1, 2, and 3 twisted shielded pairs (28 to 18 AWG) and are excellent for use in sensor, encoder, actuator, and Resolver connection applications. In addition, an overall shielded 28 AWG/5 twisted-pair round cable version is available as well. Unlike bulky round data transmission cables, the Cicoil flat version has been designed for repeatable motion, tight routing, reduced skewing effects, and better heat dissipation.
Cicoil’s patented computer-controlled extrusion process allows each individually shielded pair to be placed in a flat parallel profile, precisely controlling the spacing of each individual component, insulation thickness, and the overall cable shape. This ensures that each of the shielded or unshielded conductors do not rub against each other, wear during operation and provide optimum EMI/RFI suppression. The tear-resistant Flexx-Sil jacket is also self-healing from small punctures and will not wear, crack or deform due to long term exposure to continuous flexing, severe impact, vibration, water, abrasion, ice, steam, sunlight, humidity, ozone, UV light, autoclave, expanded temperatures, and many chemicals.
