TKD KAWEFLEX Multi-Conductor Flexible Control Cables
L-com supplies TKD Kabel KAWEFLEX Multi-Conductor Flexible Control Cables, engineered for continuous-motion and drag chain applications in industrial automation. Designed to withstand up to 5 million flex cycles, these multiconductor cables ensure consistent signal integrity and power delivery in environments with high mechanical stress. Available in 3–25 conductors with stranded copper conductors (AWG 14–21), they provide low electrical resistance and robust mechanical stability. The oil-resistant PVC jacket is silicone-free and suitable for contact with lubricants, coolants, and grease. Rated to 600 VDC with a temperature range of -5°C to +90°C, KAWEFLEX cables meet UL, CSA, and AWM standards, and are flame-tested to FT1, VW-1, and IEC 60332-1-2. Shielded and unshielded constructions are available for applications requiring EMI protection.
