This flexible multicore shielded PUR flat control cable with integrated steel wire strain relief elements is engineered for applications requiring both reliable signal transmission and mechanical self-support during reeling — typical in vertical lift systems, hoist control panels, and cable festoon installations where the cable spans unsupported between reel and equipment. The integrated galvanised steel wires absorb axial tensile loads, preventing stress on the copper signal conductors.
The cable features individually shielded twisted pairs for noise-free signal transmission in electrically noisy crane and hoist environments, encased in a robust polyurethane (PUR) flat outer sheath for exceptional oil, abrasion, and weather resistance. 0.5 mm² to 1.5 mm² conductors; 4 to 40 cores; rated 300/500V.

Galvanised steel wires offer the highest tensile strength per unit area and are preferred for heavy hoist and crane pendant applications. Aramid fibre alternatives reduce cable weight significantly and are preferred for lightweight robot and AGV control applications where weight saving is critical.
Shield every analogue signal pair (4–20 mA, 0–10 V), every encoder channel, and every fieldbus pair (Profibus, DeviceNet). Digital I/O pairs in low-noise environments may share an overall screen without individual pair shielding.
