Cables, spiral

FS Cables offers both signal and power versions of retractable spiral cables. The variations in conductor size, insulation and sheath materials are enormous. Having decided on the conductor size and the number of cores, it is important to choose the insulation and sheath materials most suitable for the task. The retracted length of the spiral can be made to your requirements, up to 2.5m. Standard tails (straight cable at either end of the spiral) are 150 mm but can be made to suit your needs. Although once popular, PVC is now giving way to Polyurethane as a sheathing material which has a substantially better memory. Rubber is still popular, with Hytral used for the highest performance cables. The sizes and types shown on the page opposite are a small selection of the spiral cables offered. There are many other sheathing, insulation materials and voltage ratings as well as screened versions available. Please call with your exact requirement.
