Flexible Cables - why are some cables more flexible than others?
20th August 2007
Different applications require different amounts of flexibility, the conductors within a cable , together with the insulation/sheathing material used, will dictate how rigid or flexible the cable is. Conductors are classed to indicate the degree of flexibility:
Class 1: single wire rigid
Class 2: stranded rigid
Class 5: flexible (fine wires)
Class 6: super flexible
