Continuous Flexing Industrial Ethernet Cable

Continuous flexing industrial Ethernet cable is designed for constantly moving applications such as robotic arms or on moving equipment. Rugged outer jackets provide weather and hazard resistance, as well as flame retardance. Cable is available in shielded or unshielded styles with up to 4 twisted pairs. Order cable cut to your specified lengths, or in any bulk length.

Commercial Ethernet cables have a tube jacket surrounding the conductor pairs. This jacket design has room for the pairs to move around and even untwist in flexing applications, resulting in early mechanical or electrical failure of the cable.

Quabbin� DataMax Extreme Industrial Ethernet cable jackets were developed to survive the many industrial hazards that commercial jackets will not.

DataMax Extreme cable jackets are pressure extruded over the cable core, effectively "locking" the conductor pairs in place. This type of jacket construction provides very stable electrical performance, even when the cable is impacted, bent, or repeatedly flexed. Pressure extrusion also provides a very smooth, round, and firm jacket allowing the cable to be flexed up to 10 million cycles without failure.

Continuous Flexing Industrial Ethernet Cable Overview

Applications - Flexing versus Flexible

Continuous Flexing Cables: Cables designed to be exposed to constant flexing during their operation and withstand millions of these flex cycles.
Flexible Cables: Cables designed to be bent and routed in an installation then remain static. Think of this as "bendability". Note: Our current offering of Multi-Conductor Control Cable is Flexible not Flexing.
