Drag Chain Cable — Shielded Paired Flexible PVC Control Cable | HANYI Cable
Product Description
The Paired drag chain cable is a shielded, paired flexible control cable designed for applications where both mechanical flexibility and signal integrity are critical. Each pair of conductors is twisted to reduce crosstalk, and a tinned-copper wire braided screen ensures effective protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI).
Its robust PVC insulation and outer sheath offer a reliable balance of oil resistance, flame retardancy, and abrasion protection, making it ideal for drag chain systems, robotics, and industrial automation where the cable is subject to repeated bending cycles.
Key Features
Twisted-pair core design minimizes crosstalk and improves data/signal stability.
Tinned-copper wire braid with typical coverage ≥80% for EMI/RFI shielding.
Flexible fine-stranded copper conductors (Class 5) for long flex life.
PVC insulation and sheath resistant to oils, coolants, and common industrial chemicals.
Flame retardant to IEC 60332-1-2 on request.
Voltage rating: 300/500V or 450/750V.
Wide core range: 1–24 pairs, conductor sizes 0.5–1.5 mm² (others on request).
Suitable for continuous or intermittent motion in drag chain applications.
Typical Applications
Servo, sensor, and encoder signal transmission in moving machinery
Control and feedback systems in robotics and automated production lines
Signal and low-voltage power circuits in CNC machines
Industrial inspection and measuring equipment in cable carriers
Packaging, printing, and assembly line automation
