What impact does jacket wall thickness have on a cable?

No Dumb Questions episode 10

In this video, we explore how jacket wall thickness plays a crucial role in the performance, durability, and flexibility of custom cables. The cable jacket serves as the first line of defense against environmental factors, mechanical stress, and chemical exposure, but how thick should it be? We''ll discuss how thicker jackets provide enhanced protection and durability, while thinner jackets offer greater flexibility and lighter weight. Finding the right balance is key to optimizing cable performance for specific applications, whether in medical devices, robotics, aerospace, or industrial automation.
