AUTO-FLEX® CF Control Cable
The AUTO-FLEX® TC continuous flexing control cable is designed and manufactured with reduced diameters for continuous flexing and high-speed automated applications. It is ideal for environments where small bend radii, long flex life, and resistance to tension, flame, abrasion, and temperature are critical. Typical applications include cable carriers (C-Track), festoon systems, and cable trays for automated robotic feeds.

Design Parameters
Conductors: Soft drawn tinned copper, per ASTM B -174, and UL-62 for very high flexibility and increased flex life, reduced copper fatigue/ conductor breakage, easy soldering and corrosion resistance.
Insulation: Color-coded flexible and flame-retardant insulation with a nylon sheath rated for 90°C dry and 75°C wet applications.
Cabling: Conductors are planetary cabled in a contra-helical lay with non-wicking, non-hygroscopic fillers with an overall binder of rubberized fabric tape for exceptional performance in severe flexing applications.
Jacket: Black, flame- and oil-resistant thermoset jacket per UL-62 and ICEA S-68-516, suitable for use indoors and outdoors in severe flexing applications where oil, chemicals, and extreme temperatures are considerations.
