Tips For Selecting flexible cable
manufacturing applications require flexible wire and cable to work in numerous environments and withstand millions of cycles. Continuous flexing, bending, and exposure to solvents and oils can shorten the life of the cable. Increasingly, cables must withstand such harsh conditions and the stresses

Accounting for lost motion
and conduit are carefully matched. However, these so-called flexible-core controls are usually found on pull-pull controls that transmit tensile force in both directions. For high-load, push-pull applications, specially designed wire cores are available which maintain high flexibility yet permit loads

EMI/RFI Informational Bulletin
EMI and RFI interference are an issue for OEM's and consumers worldwide. Interference can be extremely destructive if not mitigated properly. Electri-Flex' Shield-Flex shielded flexible conduit provides a very simple but effective solution to EMI/RFI issues. The Shield-Flex products not only

Beware of Noncompliance! Field Modification of Cable Tray
Since wire mesh basket cable tray was introduced to the United States and Canadian markets, designers and installers have found it a flexible and affordable alternative to J-hooks, ladder trays and conduits. In comparison to J-hooks, basket tray can support larger cable bundles with better

Sending AV Signals Over Twisted-Pair Cabling
twisted-pair cables provide a number of benefits to the audiovisual (AC) integrator, including availability, low cost and easy of termination, as well as being lighter, generally more flexible and easier to pull through conduit. BICSI News Magazine - July/August 2010. Table of Contents

Robots get fired up
in wire count, reduced failure rates, simplified scalability of advanced features, and reduced hardware costs from eliminating dedicated motion-control interfaces. Another early pioneer, Robotics Research Corporation, Cincinnati, developed its I Type robot family, an extremely scalable and flexible

The expanding role of shrink tubing
branches on wiring harnesses. Heat-shrinkable fabric is a means of adding abrasion resistance while remaining flexible. Ordinary shrinkable tubing with the same level of abrasion resistance would be stiff, while shrinkable fabric keeps its ability to move. Most engineers are familiar

Technical Reference: Common Connectivity Terms
cylindrical transmission line typically comprised of a center conductor, an insulating dielectric material and an outer conductor (shielding). Coaxial cable can be flexible (typical to the assemblies found in this catalog), semi-rigid or rigid in nature. Coaxial Connector - The interconnection device
