Tired of Cables Snapping in Cable Chains? Stop the Downtime Now.
You know the frustration. You set up a new automated machine or a robotic arm. Everything runs smooth for a week. Then, the cables inside the cable chain start to crack. The insulation breaks. The signal gets noisy. Your machine throws an error code and stops. You lose production time. You lose money. You have to open the safety guard and replace the cable again.Cheap generic cables just don’t last. They aren’t built for constant bending, twisting, and pulling. They don’t have the right shielding to stop electrical noise from messing up your sensitive data. You need a cable that moves as freely as your machine does. You need a cable that resists oil, abrasion, and constant motion. You need the HIRAKAWA HEWTECH 14-core shielded twisted pair cable. This isn’t just a wire. It is a high-performance solution built for the toughest industrial jobs.
Why This 14-Core Shielded Cable is Different
This cable is not a standard off-the-shelf product. It is engineered specifically for dynamic applications. When we say dynamic, we mean the cable is moving. It is going up and down. It is twisting 180 degrees. It is dragging inside a cable chain.We use a specific construction method called twisted pair. Inside the outer jacket, you have 14 individual wires. These wires are twisted together in pairs. Why? Because twisting cancels out electrical noise. If you run a straight wire next to a motor, the motor creates magnetic interference. This creates “crosstalk” or noise on the line. Your sensor data gets corrupted. By twisting the wires, the noise hits both wires equally, and the receiver cancels it out.But we didn’t stop there. We added a shield. This is a layer of metal braid or foil wrapped around all the pairs. This acts like a cage. It stops outside noise from getting in, and it stops your signal from leaking out. This is critical for EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility). If you are in a factory with big VFDs (Variable Frequency Drives) or welding equipment, you need this shield. Without it, your signals will jump around, and your system will fail.
Technical Specs You Can Trust
We believe in transparency. Here are the hard numbers for this cable:
- Conductor Count: 14 Cores (7 pairs)
- Conductor Size: 0.14 mm² (Approx. 26AWG)
- Conductor Material: Tinned Soft Copper Wire (0.08mm to 0.10mm strands)
- Insulation Material: PVC or PUR (Polyurethane) – Choose based on your oil/chemical exposure
- Shielding: Braided Copper + Aluminum Foil (Double Shield for max protection)
- Drain Wire: 26AWG tinned copper wire for easy grounding
- Outer Jacket: PVC (Grey RAL7032) or TPE/PUR for high flexibility
- Outer Diameter: Approx. 7.5mm to 8.5mm (Depends on jacket material)
- Temperature Range: -5°C to +80°C (PVC) or -40°C to +105°C (PUR options)
- Bending Radius: Fixed: 4x Outer Diameter | Moving: 15x Outer Diameter
- Torsion: Can handle +/- 180 degrees twist per meter
The tinned copper is a big deal. Regular copper turns green (oxidizes) when it gets wet or humid. Tin plating stops this. It keeps the connection solid for years, even in damp environments. The stranded construction (many tiny wires twisted together) makes the cable super flexible. If you used a solid wire, it would snap after 10 bends. Our stranded wire can bend thousands of times.
Built for the Harshest Environments
This cable is a workhorse. We see it used in places where other cables die quickly.1. Cable Chains (Energy Chains)This is the #1 use case. The cable is forced to move in a tight loop. Our cable has a special jacket formulation that resists abrasion. It won’t wear down when it rubs against the inside of the plastic chain. It also has an anti-stretch member (sometimes a fiber or steel wire mesh) inside to stop the copper conductors from snapping under tension.2. Servo Motors and EncodersServo motors need to send position data back to the controller. This data is sensitive. If the cable is shielded poorly, the motor might jitter or lose position. Our 14-core design gives you plenty of room for power, ground, and multiple signal lines (A, B, Z phase) all in one cable. This simplifies installation. You pull one cable instead of three.3. Robotic Milling and Welding ArmsRobots move fast. They jerk and stop. The cable needs to handle dynamic stress. The PUR jacket option is resistant to cutting fluids, oils, and coolants. It is also microbe-proof and hydrolysis-resistant. It won’t get slimy or brittle if it gets wet.4. CNC Machines and Industrial DataIn a CNC machine, you have high-frequency signals for stepper motors and sensors. The shielded twisted pair design ensures that the high-speed data (like RS-422 or RS-485) stays clean. You get fewer errors and better precision on your cuts.
Quality You Can Feel
When you hold this cable, you feel the difference. It feels substantial, but it bends easily. It doesn’t kink. The print on the jacket is clear and won’t rub off. We follow strict standards like DIN 47100 for color coding.Color Code Standard:You get a full color stripe system: White, Brown, Green, Yellow, Grey, Pink, Blue, Red, Black, Violet, plus stripes like Grey/Pink, Red/Blue, White/Green, Brown/Green. This makes it easy for your technicians to terminate the ends without using a multimeter to guess which wire is which.The Shield Matters:We use a high-coverage braid (over 60% coverage). Some cheap cables use a “spiral wrap” which is just a wire wrapped around. That is not a real shield. A real braid stops high-frequency noise. Our cable is tested to reduce coupled voltage from ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) from volts down to millivolts. That is the difference between a system that works and a system that crashes when someone walks across the carpet.
