Flexible Cable may be UL Listed, CSA certified, CE marked and/or meet military specifications. However, every flexible cable is different, so make sure to specify if your flexible cable needs one or more standards to be met.

Flexible Cable is utilized in numerous applications to withstand the extreme stress of flexing and motion. A few applications include: drag chain applications, applications with repetitive bending and torsion stress, machine tools, data processing equipment, robotics, assembly lines, automation networking, microprocessor and computer interconnects and many more.

According to Alpha Wire, there are four common types of cable flexing movements. These include rolling flex, bending flex or “tic-toc,” torsional flex and variable/random motion flex.

Flexible Cable is a cable that possesses flexibility for challenging cable positioning. Alpha Wire defines “flexibility” as “that quality of a cable or cable component which allows for bending under the influence of outside force.”
