Cable failure is one of the top causes of unplanned downtime in industrial automation. Repeated flexing cracks the conductor, oil exposure degrades insulation, and EMI from servo drives corrupts sensor signals — all adding up to lost production hours and higher maintenance costs. Choosing the right multi-core shielded wire for harsh mechanical environments is not optional. It directly determines uptime.This Bando-brand 30-core shielded wire is made in Japan to exacting standards. Each core is 0.18 mm² (rated 0.2 mm²) pure oxygen-free copper, wrapped in a shielding layer and jacketed with an oil-resistant compound. The cable is soft, easy to route through tight spaces, and built to survive continuous motion and chemical exposure. Currently available at clearance pricing — ideal for maintenance teams, system integrators, and OEMs needing reliable stock at reduced cost.Core Specifications

Why This Cable Performs Where Others Fail
- Pure copper, low signal loss. Oxygen-free copper keeps DC resistance low and consistent. Over 10+ meters of run — typical in machine tool wiring — signal attenuation stays within spec for encoder and sensor lines. No ghost faults from weak connections.
- Soft stranded build survives drag chains. Thirty fine strands per core give a small bend radius. In robotic arm joints, cable carriers, and reciprocating axes, this cable endures millions of flex cycles without conductor fatigue. Hard-wire alternatives crack within weeks under the same motion profile.
- Oil-resistant jacket holds up in CNC and injection molding environments. Cutting fluid, hydraulic oil, and grease attack standard PVC jackets, causing swelling, softening, and eventual short circuits. The oil-resistant compound on this cable maintains flexibility and dielectric strength even after prolonged immersion — verified in machine tool coolant trays.
- Dual-layer shielding blocks EMI in servo-dense panels. Aluminum foil plus braided copper shield provides >85% coverage. In enclosures packed with VFDs, servo amplifiers, and contactors, this prevents crosstalk between signal cores and eliminates intermittent position errors on CNC axes.
Applicable Industries & Use CasesIndustrial robots (articulated, SCARA, delta), CNC machining centers, injection molding machines, automated assembly lines, AGV/AMR, packaging machinery, medical equipment, semiconductor handling systems. Best suited for drag chain cable carriers, control cabinet internal wiring, sensor and encoder signal transmission, and I/O harness routing in oil-exposed zones.Sourcing, Service & Next StepsWe are an authorized Bando clearance channel — all cables are original Japanese product, tested for continuity and insulation resistance before shipment.
