Flat Flexible Festoon Cables
Cicoil's Flat Festoon Cables are designed for some of the harshest environments known to mankind. Ideal in lateral traversing motion applications, such as overhead & gantry cranes, monorail hoists, car wash equipment, conveyors, telescoping jetways and material handling systems, these UV resistant cables are an excellent alternative to Neoprene and PVC jacketed flat cables that don't provide reliability in severe temperature and tough weather conditions.
Cicoil's proprietary extrusion process allows multiple conductors to be placed in a flat cable, precisely controlling the spacing of the wires, the jacket thickness and the overall cable shape. The flat construction allows for stacking multiple cables where space is at a premium and a tight bending radius is required.
Cicoil's exclusive crystal-clear Flexx-Sil™ encapsulation is tear-resistant, needs no external "armor" or conduit for protection, is self-healing from small punctures and will not deform or wear during a lifetime of more than 10 million cycles or operational stress. Unlike most other flat festoon cables, Cicoil's unique flat extruded cables are unaffected when exposed to flames (UL 94 V-0), crosswinds, high voltages (up to 20,000 Volts DC), driving rain, ice, snow, salt corrosion, temperature extremes (-65°C to +165°C) submersion in water, coarse sand, shock, vibration, sunlight and many chemicals. For applications that require continuous operation in extreme heat, Cicoil offers shielded and higher temperature designs (+260°C) options by request.
Standard "off the shelf" Flat Festoon Cables (4 AWG to 28 AWG) are available from stock and cable assemblies, complete with connectors are offered in 3 foot, 6 foot and 12 foot lengths. Custom designs incorporating shielded wires or signal pairs, coaxial conductors, strength members, and tubing for air or fluid transfer are available with minimum lead times.
Cicoil's Halogen-Free Festoon Cables are UL Recognized, CE Conforming, RoHS & REACH Compliant and are manufactured in an automated, climate controlled environment.
Cicoil has been a leader in designing and manufacturing high performance cable assemblies for over fifty years. The company's Patented Flexx-Sil™ Flat Cable Technology provides high flexibility, extremely long life, and they can withstand temperature extremes from -65 degrees to +260 degrees Celsius. Cicoil's flat cables are used in thousands of demanding applications; including aircraft fuel control cells, semiconductor automation, and the Space Shuttle. Cicoil designs and manufactures its Flexx-Sil™ jacketed cables and cable assemblies in an automated facility in Valencia, California. Cicoil's quality assurance system is certified to the ISO 9001 (AS9100) standard. Visit www.cicoil.com for more information, or call 661-295-1295 to speak to an application engineer.
