Tired of cables that crack, overheat, or cause signal loss?
You are not alone. Many factory managers and electricians face the same headache. You buy cheap 3-core wire, and it breaks when you bend it. The insulation peels off. The copper inside is not pure, so power gets weak. Your machines stop working. Your customers complain. You waste money on replacements and lose time fixing errors.You need a cable that works hard. You need a cable that bends without breaking. You need a cable that carries power and signals safely. This is why we bring you the Korean Sangjin 1.0mm² 3-core flexible power cable. It is not just a wire. It is a solution for your pain. It is built for real work in tough places.
What makes this 3-core 1mm cable special?
This is a high-quality imported electronic wire. It uses the Korean Sangjin standard for quality. Let’s look at the technical details. You need to know exactly what you are buying.
Superior Copper Conductor
The inside of the cable is the most important part. We use high-purity stranded copper. It is not a single solid stick. It is made of many thin wires twisted together. This makes it flexible. You can bend it around corners easily.
- Stranding: 32 strands of 0.2mm copper wire (or 24/0.2mm for specific types).
- Resistance: Very low. About 19.5 ohms per kilometer. This means less heat and more power for your equipment.
- Material: Bare copper or tinned copper available. Tinned copper resists rust better in wet places.
Professional Insulation and Sheath
We do not cut corners on the plastic cover. We use two main types of material: PVC and XLPE.
- PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): This is the standard. It is flexible, fire-retardant, and resistant to oil and chemicals. It works well for general wiring in homes, offices, and light industry. The temperature range is usually -15°C to 70°C for moving, and -40°C to 80°C if fixed in a wall.
- XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene): This is the heavy-duty option. If you have high heat or high voltage needs, choose this. It handles up to 90°C. It is harder than PVC but much stronger. It is great for power transmission in industrial panels.
Voltage and Safety Ratings
Safety comes first. This cable is rated for 300/500V (or 0.6/1kV for power versions). This covers most low-voltage applications.
- Flame Retardant: It does not catch fire easily. If it burns, it does not spread the flame. It meets standards like BS EN 60332-1-2.
- Low Smoke: If there is a fire, it produces very little smoke. This is critical for indoor use in public buildings like hospitals or schools.
Where can you use this flexible control wire?
You might ask, “Is this right for my project?” The answer is probably yes. This 3-core 1 sqmm wire is very versatile. Here are the real-life scenes where it shines.
Industrial Automation and Robotics
Factories use thousands of meters of cable. Robot arms move constantly. Cables in drag chains get twisted and pulled. A normal wire breaks in days. The Korean Sangjin flexible wire lasts for years. It sends control signals to the robot brain. It powers the sensors. It is perfect for CNC machines, conveyor belts, and assembly lines.
Building and Construction
Electricians love this wire because it is easy to pull through pipes. It is not stiff. You do not need a machine to push it.
- Lighting Circuits: Connecting switches and lights.
- Socket Outlets: Powering tools and computers.
- Fire Alarm Systems: The 3 cores can carry power and signal for alarms.
- HVAC: Heating and air conditioning units need flexible wires for the thermostat and fan motor.
Home Appliances and Electronics
Look inside a washing machine or a refrigerator. You see small wires connecting the motor to the circuit board. This 1mm cable is perfect for that. It is also used in audio equipment and control panels. If you are making a custom extension cord, this is the best choice. It stays soft even in cold weather.
Special Environments
- Wet Areas: With a black PVC outer sheath, water has a hard time getting in. Great for outdoor lighting or garden pumps.
- Oily Areas: In garages or workshops, oil spills ruin cheap rubber. Our PVC resists oil.
- Cold Storage: The “Arctic PVC” version stays flexible in freezers. Normal wire becomes brittle and cracks. This one bends easily.
How to choose the right type?
We know there are many options. Let’s make it simple. Use this guide to pick the right one for your order.
Fixed vs. Flexible Use
- Fixed Wiring (CVV): If you are burying the cable in a wall or underground, you do not need it to move. You can use a slightly stiffer version. It is cheaper and has a thicker insulation layer.
- Flexible Wiring: If the cable moves, vibrates, or gets bent often, you must use the “flexible” or “stranded” version. The copper strands are finer. The jacket is softer.
Shielded vs. Unshielded
- Unshielded: Good for power and simple signals. Cheaper.
- Shielded (Foil or Braid): If you have sensitive electronics near big motors, use shielded wire. The shield stops “noise” from the motor messing up the computer signal. This is critical for medical equipment or data centers.
Color Codes
We follow international standards.
- Black: Standard for power.
- Blue/Brown/Green-Yellow: Standard for Earth/Ground.
- Orange/Grey: Often used for control circuits in machines.
- White: Easy to mark and write on.
Why buy this imported Korean standard wire?
You might find cheaper cables from other markets. But “cheap” often costs more in the long run. Here is why our clients choose this specific product.1. Consistent QualityKorean manufacturers have a strict quality control system. Every 100 meters is tested. The diameter is exact. The copper is pure. You get the same quality in every shipment. No surprises.2. Long LifeThe PVC jacket has UV protection. If you use it outside, the sun does not crack it quickly. The XLPE version resists chemicals. It does not rot in bad soil.3. Easy to Strip and ConnectThe insulation strips off cleanly. You do not damage the copper. This saves your workers time. They can terminate the wires faster. The flexible strands go into connectors easily without fraying.4. Global CertificationsThis wire meets IEC standards. It meets BS (British Standard) and DIN (German Standard) requirements. If you export your machines to Europe or the US, this cable helps you pass their safety tests.5. Bulk PricingWe sell by the reel (usually 100 meters). If you buy in bulk, the price drops significantly. We also offer custom lengths. You do not pay for waste.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this cable suitable for underground burial?A: Yes, but you need the armored version (SWA) or a cable with a thick LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath. The standard PVC version is good for ducts, but direct burial needs extra protection against rocks.Q: Can I use this for 220V and 110V?A: Yes. The voltage rating is 300/500V. This covers 110V, 220V, 240V, and 380V applications perfectly.Q: What is the difference between “Control Cable” and “Power Cable”?A: Control cables are for signals (low current). Power cables are for energy (high current). This 1mm cable is on the border. It can do both for small loads (under 10 Amps). For big motors, you need thicker wire (2.5mm or more).Q: Do you provide samples?A: Yes. We can send you a 10-meter sample roll. You pay for the shipping and the sample cost. We refund the sample cost when you place a big order.Q: What is your lead time?A: For standard types, we have stock. We can ship in 3-5 days. For custom colors or printing on the sheath, it takes 15-20 days.
