Coiled cable(also known as: spiral cable)

It is necessary to use coiled cables in almost all industries. Whether in communication (telephone, radio), medical technology, electric locomotive industry, mechanical engineering, or lighting industry, coiled cables are used everywhere.If you use PVC and PUR cables, the color of the coiled cable can be coordinated with the color of the object in most cases. At the same time we can also supply: shielded coiled cable, coiled cable for instrumentation, coiled cable for automobile power supply, coiled cable for transformer power supply, coiled cable for large-scale electro-mechanical equipment, coiled cable for washing machine power supply.

 

1.PVC coiled cable: High economy, low mechanical and chemical resistance, medium elasticity. It is suitable for installation and use in light industry, computer and other occasions.

 

2. PUR coiled cable: Good elasticity. It has excellent mechanical and chemical properties, especially cold resistance, oil resistance, weather resistance, abrasion resistance and tear resistance. It is suitable for use in machinery manufacturing, electric tools and other occasions. It is the best solution in most areas of application.

 

3. PUR shielded coiled cable: It has excellent chemical properties. Particularly resistant to cold, oil, weather, abrasion and tearing. The spiral overall shielding structure can resist all kinds of electromagnetic interference. Especially suitable for all occasions requiring minimal installation space, such as medical treatment, semiconductor, and chips.
