In drag chains, robotic joints, and compact machine housings, standard coaxial cables crack, lose shielding coverage, or drop signal quality after repeated flexing. Signal loss and EMI pickup in tight-routing applications cause downtime, false sensor readings, and premature cable replacement — a hidden cost most specs overlook.The Bando 1.7C-2V is a single-core, 75-ohm shielded coaxial cable built to survive continuous movement in confined spaces. Imported directly from Bando Corporation, Japan, it uses a bare copper conductor with high-coverage braid shielding and an ultra-flexible outer jacket. It maintains stable 75Ω impedance and low attenuation even after millions of flex cycles — where ordinary signal cable fails.Core Parameters

Core Advantages
- Tight-bend rated to 5× OD — Routes cleanly through small-diameter drag chains and robotic arm joints cycling 500+ times per minute without jacket cracking or conductor fatigue.
- Consistent 75Ω impedance under flex — Signal attenuation stays within spec even after prolonged mechanical stress. The copper braid shield blocks EMI from VFDs, servo drives, and weld stations common on factory floors.
- Compact single-core profile — Fits conduit paths under 10mm and small connector housings where multi-core coax or shielded pair cables physically cannot route. Saves panel space in dense I/O racks.
- Bando factory tolerance control — Jacket wall thickness and shield coverage are uniform meter to meter. Reduces field failure rate compared to generic ultra-flexible coax with inconsistent extrusion.
Applicable Industries & Scenarios
- Industrial automation — PLC I/O wiring, encoder feedback leads, vision system signal runs
- Robotics — Articulated arm cable carriers, end-effector sensor leads
- Semiconductor & electronics — Probe card interconnects, ATE test fixture wiring
- Medical devices — Signal routing inside compact diagnostic and imaging equipment
- Aerospace & defense — Weight-sensitive, high-reliability signal paths in avionics bays
