Application
These types of cables are commonly used as mobile cables in cranes, elevators, and conveyor systems. They are suitable for use in installations within buildings.
Advantages of Flat Cables Over Round Cables
• Better thermal exchange with the outside due to a higher surface-to-volume ratio, resulting in less heating of the cable.
• Greater flexibility and bending angle.
• Distribution of tensile stress among the conductor, insulation, and sheath, resulting in higher mechanical strength.
• Uniform bending force between strands.
• More compact packaging.
• For greater flexibility, the following blends can be used for insulation or sheath:
o Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE)
o Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR)
