FLAT - FLEX®   (PVC) FESTOONING CABLE                                  600 VOLTS          105°C  TO  -40°C

 

 

 

 

 

APPLICATIONS

 

FLAT-FLEX® Festooning Cable is primarily designed for use with festoon systems for the conveyance of electrical power and control to cranes, hoists, or any equipment which travels with a lateral traversing motion.  FLAT-FLEX Cables can also be used where space is at a premium, since it can be stacked ; or where extreme flexing is a requirement, recommended bend radius of three to five times cable diameter.  FLAT-FLEX Cables are suitable for either indoor or outdoor applications operating at -40ºC to 105ºC.  However, they are not recommended for severe flexing or impact at temperatures below -10ºC.  For severe flexing applications below -10ºC specify FLAT-FLEX Neoprene Festoon Cables.

 

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

 

1. CONDUCTORS

FEATURES :  Extra-flexible stranding (Class M for 16 and 14 AWG and Class K for 12  AWG and larger) soft-drawn uncoated copper; per

 

ASTM  B-3, ASTM B-174, UL-62, and CSA Electrical Bulletin 1447.

 

BENEFITS :  High flexibility and increased flex-life in festooning applications.

 

2.  INSULATION

FEATURES :  Colour coded, flame and oil-resistant 105ºC PVC ; per UL-62 (CSA FT-1 flame rated).

BENEFITS :  Easy conductor identification, suitable for use in oil and chemical environments, higher ampacity rating.

 

 

3.  CABLING

FEATURES : Flat parallel conductor grouping, one rip cord per group, and webbing between groups.

BENEFITS : Easy stacking of multiple cables in smaller space, enhanced stability in outdoor applications against crosswinds, maintains cable integrity, reduces conductor stress and increases flex-life, easy jacket stripping.

 

4.  JACKET

FEATURES : Available in stock with either yellow or black, flame and oil-resistant PVC jacket ; UL VW-1 and CSA FT-1 . 

 

BENEFITS : Immediate delivery, suitable for use indoors and outdoors in oil and chemical environments.

 

RATINGS

FLAT-FLEX Festooning Cables are UL listed (E60362H) and CSA certified (File No. LL95915-1), 600 volts, 105ºC to -40ºC.

 

CONSTRUCTION OPTIONS

Consult factory for other FLAT-FLEX Cables designed and manufactured in a variety of alternative constructions for specific applications.  Options include coaxial,  fiber optic, twisted shielded pairs, or composite conductors.  For severe flexing, low-temperature applications below -10ºC, specify FLAT-FLEX  Neoprene  Festooning Cables.
