Custom Flexible Robot Cable Hybrid Double Screened Cable

Custom Flexible Robot Cable – Hybrid Double Screened Cable, Conductor: TC (CU / TC / SPC / NPC Optional) Finely Stranded Class 5 (Class 1 / 2 / 5 / 6 Optional), Insulation: Silicone Flexible Compound (XLPE / FEP Optional), Screen: Individual Aluminium Foil for Each Pair + Overall TCWB Tinned Copper Wire Braiding, Sheath: Silicone Flexible Compound Black (TPV / FEP / LSZH Optional), Application: Robot Cable

This custom flexible robot cable features hybrid double screened construction, specifically engineered for demanding robotic and automation applications requiring exceptional flexibility, reliable signal integrity, and robust EMI protection in continuous motion environments.

The conductor options provide design flexibility: CU for general use, TC for corrosion resistance, SPC for high frequency and high temperature, or NPC for extreme temperature oxidation resistance. Finely stranded Class 5 construction offers optimal flexibility for robotic applications, with Class 6 available for maximum flexibility, or Class 1/2 for fixed installations. Silicone flexible compound insulation delivers outstanding thermal stability, flexibility, and low outgassing, with XLPE or FEP options for enhanced electrical or temperature performance.

The double screen system combines individual aluminium foil shielding on each pair to eliminate crosstalk between adjacent signal pairs, with overall TCWB tinned copper wire braiding providing comprehensive external EMI protection for the entire cable assembly. The black silicone flexible compound sheath offers exceptional flexibility, durability, and wide temperature range performance, with TPV, FEP, or LSZH options available for specific environmental requirements.

This highly customizable robot cable platform adapts to virtually any robotic application, from small pick-and-place robots to large industrial articulated arms, ensuring reliable power, control, and data transmission in continuous flexing environments.
