  • Space efficiency- Reduces unnecessary use of tapes and insulations, thus reducing the cable’s physical volume and bulkiness.
  • Flexibility- Can be easily folded. This allows the cable to be used in areas with continuous and high flexing applications.
  • Can work even in extreme conditions- The cable has a PVC insulation that protects it from extreme temperatures (-400C to 1050C). Also, the insulation is highly resistant to abrasion and corrosion from moisture and chemicals.
