Vibration-Proof Flexible Flat Cables
Cicoil's highly flexible cables have been designed for use in applications exposed to harsh vibration caused by propelling force, automated machinery, excessive turbulence, intense wind, driving rain and rough seas. Unlike other types of cables that can't take the stress, the Cicoil designs excel under pressure and provide absolute reliability in the toughest of conditions.
Cicoil utilizes a unique process of completely surrounding and encapsulating conductors in its shock absorbing Flexx-Sil™ rubber jacket that renders them unaffected by constant shaking, sudden impact, severe vibration, G-Forces, extreme temperatures (-65 °C to +260 °C), salt corrosion, submersion in water, humidity, chemicals, ozone, radiation, UV light and the rigors of supersonic flight. As a result, the Cicoil cable does not require a clamping system (which is typically utilized with PVC, Polyurethane and Teflon jacketed cables) because the conductors cannot creep out of the Flexx-Sil jacket encasing them.
The Tear Resistant Flexx-Sil™ Jacket does not require conduit for protection, is self-healing from small punctures and outer cable jacket damage can easily be repaired in the field. In addition, the cable will not wear, crack or deform when exposed tight bending, continuous flexing and operational stress.
Standard "off the shelf" Cables are available for immediate delivery and cable assemblies, complete with connectors are offered in 3 foot, 6 foot and 12 foot lengths. Custom designs, including assemblies with connectors of your choice, 100% tested and inspected, are also available with minimum lead times. For rugged environments where cables are subjected to abrasion, Cicoil offers Anti-Friction Coatings by request.
Cicoil's Shock Absorbing Cables are Halogen-Free, Flame Retardant, UL Recognized, CE Conforming, RoHS & REACH Compliant, and are cured continuously, with no debris or material impurities, 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 unique Flexx-Sil™ flat cables provide 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.
