Machine tool cables crack, lose insulation, or fail signal transmission after repeated bending in tight cable chains. Cheap replacements mean unplanned downtime every few months — a cost no production floor can afford.This German imported 2-core 0.5mm² flexible power cable is built for exactly that. Part of the 100 series machine tool control cable range, it delivers reliable power and signal transfer inside CNC machines, robotic arms, and automated production lines where constant flex, oil mist, and metal shavings are daily reality.Core Parameters

Why This Cable Holds Up in Real Machine Environments
- Bend-tested beyond 10 million cycles. The fine-strand copper conductor and special PVC compound keep the cable supple inside energy chains moving at high speed — no hardening, no conductor breakage at the flex point.
- Oil and coolant resistant outer jacket. CNC machining centers flood the work zone. This sheath resists mineral oil, emulsion, and cutting fluid swelling, so insulation stays intact even after prolonged exposure.
- Compact OD fits standard cable carriers. At roughly 5.5–6.0 mm outer diameter, it routes cleanly through igus, igumid, and Murrplastik chain systems without jamming — critical when you have 30+ cables in one carrier.
- German-grade consistency, batch to batch. Tight tolerance on conductor resistance and wall thickness means predictable voltage drop across long machine traverses — no surprise trips on servo drives.
Typical ApplicationsCNC milling and lathe machines, robotic weld cells, packaging and labeling equipment, conveyor systems, textile machinery, print presses, and any automated line with moving cable carriers or drag chains.Get the Right Length, the Right FitWe supply this 100 series flexible cable in standard reels and custom cut lengths.
