ECS Flat Flex Strand Bare Copper Shielded TC Braid PVC 600V 105°C Festoon Yellow Cable

Applications:

Primarily designed for use with festoon systems for carrying electrical power and control to cranes, hoists or any other 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; FLAT-FLEX cables are widely used in convention halls and exhibit centers as under carpet cables for distribution and booth lighting. Flat cable has several advantages over round cable. The main benefit is one can usually use a smaller carrier than with same round cable since the minimum bend radius of flat cable can be 1/3 or less of the round. Since the bend radius is tighter and all the conductors are in one plane, flat cable will easily compress into a ribbon shape when in storage. Round cable has a tendency to twist and sometimes catch on other loops. The flat design also makes it easy to stack multiple cables into a compact package.
