If there is one word to describe the most important attribute of industrial motion cables today, it would probably be flexibility. Flexible cables allow for more compact designs and more cycles than ever before. Similarly, VFDs and other automation systems requiring tight bending radii are looking for smaller cables that can withstand high speeds. Flexibility […]

What industries are making the most impact on cable designs?
This article was updated with new text and images on December 15, 2015. It has become clear that labor-intensive and automated processes are using more industrial cables than ever before. Here, a number of cable manufacturers discuss what industries have been key in the design innovations that are helping to change data, networking and […]
Specifying industrial motion cables
Cables—often made with copper—act like the central nervous system in an automation system, serving as interconnects communicating data, power, or signals between two devices between A and B. When specifying a cable for industrial markets, it is critical to determine what elements exist between A and B. For example, in motion applications, several types of […]
