Product Description:

The PVC Flat Festoon Cable is a multiconductor cable that employs bare, soft-drawn, uncoated copper conductors.  The copper conductors offer enhanced flexibility for easy maneuverability.  The conductors align with ASTM B-3, ASTM B-172, UL-62 and CSA Bulletin 147.  Each conductor is individually insulated in polyvinyl chloride (PVC).  The PVC insulation helps to protect the conductors from abrasion as well as from corrosion due to oil, moisture, sunlight, and chemicals.  The external jacket is composed of the same PVC material as the insulation to ensure the cables are protected from abrasion and corrosion.  The jacket is available in black or yellow and features a flattened, parallel construction to maximize crush and impact resistant.

Applications:

This cable’s flat design and flexible construction makes it a great cable for use in festoon systems.  Festoon systems are a chain of cable supports where the cable hangs in a curve between each support.  The cable’s excellent bend radius allows the cable to be laid in a catenary orientation, even with multiple cables stacked on top of one another.  Other uses for this cable include track systems, conveyors, robots, cranes and hoists, and telescoping jetways.  The cable is flame-retardant and is therefore suitable for use in locations with an increase risk of fire.  The PVC Flat Festoon Cable holds a static temperature rating of -30°C to 70C, and a flexing temperature rating of -5°C to 70°C.  The cable can be used in indoor and outdoor locations.

Specifications:

-                In accordance with specifications set forth by Underwriters Laboratories, a compliance and regulations organization established over 100 years ago, this cable meets or exceeds UL standards for festoon cables.

-                The cable also meets similar CSA requirements for festoon cables.

-                The cable is compliant with Restrictions on Hazardous Substances directives.

-                The PVC Flat Festoon Cable is CE compliant and is therefore approved by European Union health, safety, and environmental directives.
