CITCABLE: Flat FEP Ribbon PFA Cable Solutions
The Flat and High-Flex PTFE/ PFA/ FEP High-Flex Ribbon Cable are composed of high tensile copper alloy conductors and PTFE/PFA/FEP insulation. These cables are ideally suited for use subjected to rolling flex motions.
Features
- The flat shape allows load dispersion for good cut-through resistance, wear-resistance and tensile strength
- Compact and high-density wiring
- Enables easy and accurate termination
- Improved current capacity by high heat dispersion efficiency
- Minimum attenuation and crosstalk by Fluoropolymer insulation
The application-specific construction Telfon flat cables, or ribbon cables, provide optimum flex and durability in applications involving constant movement, especially in flexlife use where the wire cable is moved along its longitudinal axis. Design elements include highly stranded copper alloy conductors, hybrid construction , outer jackets that are geared to optimum movement properties with special materials as well as integrated Strain Relief elements.
These Flexible PTFE Flat Cables are designed and manufactured as a range of high-quality PTFE insulated wires, fully meeting the stringent military specification requirements of MIL-W-16878 (NEMA HP4). The TEFLON insulation not only provides outstanding electrical performance but also ensures exceptional flexibility and durability, making the flat cable highly reliable for demanding environments. Furthermore, these UL/CSA approved styles are fully released to satisfy rigorous industry standards, ensuring consistent safety and operational excellence.
The Flexible PTFE Flat Cable is designed with a parallel array of conductive cores and a specialized high-performance PTFE (TEFLON) insulation. This construction helps maintain reliable electrical performance, ensures exceptional flexibility, and provides rugged durability to meet rigorous MIL-W-16878 military specifications and UL/CSA requirements.
