Cables in robotic arms, drag chains, and CNC machines fail fast — oil eats the jacket, repeated bending cracks conductors, EMI kills signal integrity. Downtime adds up. The Taiyo 20-core 0.2 sq mm shielded twisted pair cable is engineered for exactly these conditions.This 24 AWG, oil-resistant, bend-resistant cable features individually shielded twisted pairs inside an overall shield. It handles millions of flex cycles and continuous exposure to hydraulic oil, cutting fluid, and lubricants — without signal loss or jacket degradation. Built by Taiyo, a trusted name in industrial motion cabling.Core Specifications

Why This Cable Holds Up Where Others Don’t
- Oil and chemical resistance — The outer jacket resists hydraulic oil, mineral oil, and cutting fluids. No swelling, no hardening, even after prolonged immersion. Critical for machine tools and presses.
- Bend-resistant construction for drag chains — Designed for continuous flex in energy chains. Tested to 10+ million cycles at rated bending radius. Conductor stranding and insulation compound are optimized for dynamic motion — not just static installation.
- Shielded twisted pair keeps signals clean — Each pair is foil-shielded with an overall braid. Cancels crosstalk between 20 cores and blocks external EMI from VFDs, servo drives, and welders. Reliable data transmission at high speeds.
- Compact OD, easy routing — At 0.2 sq mm per conductor, the overall diameter stays tight. Fits inside standard drag chains, conduit, and robotic arm joints without forcing redesigns.
