Is Your Cable Failing When You Need It Most?
You know the feeling. You set up a new machine. The cables look good. But after a few weeks, the wires start to break. The signal gets messy. The outer jacket gets sticky and swells up because of the oil. You have to stop the production line to fix it. This costs you money and time. It is frustrating.Many cheap cables crack when they bend. They get interference from other machines. They melt or get hard in hot oil. You need a cable that moves freely. It must last a long time. It must carry the signal clearly. You need a cable built for the real world.
The KENAKO Difference: Japanese Quality Meets Heavy Duty Performance
This is not just a wire. It is a solution for your hardest jobs. We bring you the KENAKO Japanese imported cable. It is made for high-precision work. It uses top-grade materials from Japan. We build this cable to handle constant movement. It resists oil, chemicals, and interference.This cable is special because of the fine wire structure. It uses 22 cores of 0.15 square millimeter wire. This makes it very flexible. It can bend millions of times without breaking. The copper core is high purity. This means low resistance and cool running. The shielding stops noise. The outer jacket fights oil and abrasion. It is the perfect choice for cable chains and drag chains.
Technical Specifications: Built to Exact Standards
We believe in transparency. Here are the real numbers for this cable. It meets strict industrial standards.
Conductor Material and Size
The core of the cable is pure copper. We use high-quality electrolytic copper. It has very low impurities. This ensures excellent conductivity.
- Material: High-purity Oxygen-Free Copper (OFC)
- Standard: CDA 101 / 99.99% Pure Copper
- Cross-sectional Area: 0.15 mm² (approx. 26-28 AWG)
- Structure: Multi-strand fine wire (7/0.15 mm or similar stranded structure)
- Resistance: Very low DC resistance (approx. 1.7 to 1.8 Ohm/km at 20°C)
- Tensile Strength: 30,000 to 55,000 PSI depending on temper (soft temper for flexibility)
Insulation and Shielding
Signals need protection. Noise ruins data. We fix this with double protection.
- Insulation: Special PVC or modified PVC blend. It is soft but strong.
- Shielding: Copper braid shield (or aluminum foil + drain wire). Coverage is high (over 85%).
- Shielding Effectiveness: Blocks electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).
- Capacitance: Low capacitance to keep signal speed high.
Jacket and Outer Protection
The outside is the armor. It takes the abuse.
- Material: Polyurethane (PUR) or Special Oil-Resistant PVC (Flexalloy type)
- Color: Black (standard) or Orange (for high visibility)
- Hardness: Shore A 80-90 (flexible but abrasion-resistant)
- Oil Resistance: Fully resistant to cutting oils, cooling fluids, and hydraulic oils. No swelling.
- Temperature Range: -40°C to +90°C (dynamic), -40°C to +105°C (fixed)
- Flame Retardant: UL VW-1 or IEC 60332-1 compliant
- Bend Radius: Minimum 10x to 15x outer diameter (dynamic)
Why Choose Fine Wire and 22 Cores?
You might ask, why so many small wires? Why not one big wire? The answer is flexibility and redundancy.
Ultra-Flexible for Tight Spaces
A single solid wire breaks if you bend it too much. A stranded wire moves. Our 0.15mm² fine wire is made of many tiny strands. This is called “fine wire.” It acts like a rope. It bends easily around corners. It fits in small cable chains. It does not kink. You can twist it. It returns to shape. This is vital for robotic arms and moving parts.
High Core Count for Complex Signals
22 cores give you room to grow. You can carry power, ground, and many signals in one cable.
- Power: 2 cores for 24V or 12V DC power.
- Ground: 1 core for common ground.
- Signals: 19 cores for sensors, encoders, and control lines.This saves space. You do not need five different cables. One cable does it all. It makes installation fast. It reduces clutter in the control cabinet.
Real-World Applications: Where This Cable Shines
This cable is not for lamps. It is for heavy industry. It works where other cables fail.
CNC Machining Centers
In a CNC shop, oil is everywhere. Coolant splashes. Chips fly. Cables get dragged. Standard PVC jackets get soft and sticky. They crack. Our oil-resistant PUR jacket laughs at oil. The shielding keeps the encoder signal clean. The machine does not lose position. You get perfect cuts every time.
Industrial Robots and Automation
Robot arms move all day. The cable at the wrist joint bends 10,000 times a day. Our cable passes the 10 million bend cycle test. It is lightweight. This reduces the load on the robot motor. It saves energy. It is perfect for automotive assembly lines. It works in welding stations (resistant to spatter).
Food and Pharmaceutical Processing
These places need strict hygiene. They wash down equipment with harsh chemicals. Our cable resists strong cleaning agents. It is also suitable for outdoor use. It resists UV rays. Rain does not hurt it. It is a great choice for packaging machines and conveyor systems.
Measurement and Control Systems
Sensitive equipment needs clean power and signals. The copper braid shield blocks noise from nearby motors. The fine copper core ensures voltage drop is minimal. This is critical for medical devices, testing equipment, and audio-visual systems. It ensures the data is accurate.
Quality You Can Trust: The Japanese Standard
Japanese manufacturing is famous for precision. It is not just a label. It is a process.
Strict Tolerance Control
The diameter of the copper wire is exact. The insulation thickness is consistent. There are no thin spots. This means every meter of cable performs the same. You do not get surprises. The stranding is tight. It does not fray when you strip it.
Advanced Materials
We use California Fine Wire technology concepts. We focus on purity. The copper is 99.99% pure. We use advanced annealing. This makes the copper soft but strong. It resists metal fatigue. The PUR jacket is custom-compounded. It stays flexible in the cold. It does not melt in the heat.
Eco-Friendly and Safe
The cable is RoHS compliant. It does not contain lead or heavy metals. It is safe for the environment. It is safe for your workers. The smoke from burning is low-toxicity. This meets EU and North American safety standards.
Installation Tips for Maximum Life
Even the best cable needs care. Here is how to get 10 years of life.
- Don’t Pull by the Wire: Pull by the strength member or jacket if possible.
- Respect Bend Radius: Do not bend it sharper than 10 times its diameter.
- Avoid Sharp Edges: Use cable glands and grommets. Do not let the cable rub on metal edges.
- Separate High Voltage: Keep this control cable away from 480V power lines. Use a metal barrier if they must cross.
- Strain Relief: Use cable chains with strain relief clips. Let the cable move freely inside the chain. Do not let it hang loose.
