In CNC workshops, chemical plants, and robotic cells, standard signal cables degrade fast. Oil mist eats through the jacket. Acid vapors crack insulation. Repeated bending in drag chains breaks conductors inside. The result — signal loss, data errors, unplanned downtime. Replacing cables every few months kills your maintenance budget.This German imported 16-core signal cable is built for exactly those conditions. 0.34 mm² conductors, 22 AWG, twisted pair construction with double shielding — foil plus braided copper. PUR outer sheath resists oil, acid, and most industrial chemicals. Designed to flex millions of times in drag chains and robot arms without signal degradation or jacket failure.Core Specifications

Why This Cable Performs Where Others FailDouble shield blocks EMI in noisy environments. The foil layer handles high-frequency interference; the braided copper braid drains low-frequency noise. Run this cable next to VFDs, servo drives, or welding equipment — signal integrity stays clean. No ghost pulses. No positioning errors.PUR jacket survives oil and chemical exposure. Unlike PVC, PUR does not swell, crack, or harden when exposed to cutting fluids, hydraulic oil, or mild acids. Tested per DIN EN ISO 175 (oil) and DIN EN ISO 2812 (chemicals). Suitable for continuous contact with metalworking fluids and cleaning agents.Flex-rated for drag chains and robotic arms. Tested to over 10 million flex cycles at rated bending radius. No conductor breakage, no shield fatigue. Ideal for energy chains on CNC axes, 6-axis robot cable carriers, and moving gantry systems.Compact diameter with full signal quality. 22 AWG stranded conductors keep the overall OD small — easier to route through cable glands, conduits, and tight control cabinet layouts. Twisted pair geometry maintains crosstalk performance across all 16 cores.Applicable Industries & ScenariosIndustrial automation — PLC I/O wiring, sensor and actuator connections. CNC machine tools — axis feedback signals, tool changer wiring. Robotics — cable carriers, end-effector signal routes. Process control — chemical and food processing plants with washdown exposure. Packaging machinery — high-cycle flex points. Automotive manufacturing — weld cell signal routing.Also used in outdoor installations, conveyor systems, and anywhere signal cables face oil, chemicals, or constant movement.OEM Support & CustomizationGerman-engineered cable, stocked and shipped from warehouse.
