Is your production line stopping because of broken cables?
You know the feeling. You hear a loud “snap” or see a spark. Then your expensive robotic arm stops moving. Your whole factory line stops. You lose money every minute. Why does this happen? Because you are using standard wire that is too stiff. It cannot bend millions of times. It gets hot. The oil in the machine eats the insulation. The copper wires break inside the plastic.You need a cable that moves like a snake, not a stick. You need a cable built for torture. You need the NICHIGOH 11-core 0.75mm² flexible power cord. This is not just a wire. It is a high-tech solution from Japan. It is made for cable carriers (drag chains) and robotic arms that move all day long. It does not crack. It does not get brittle. It keeps your machines running for years.
What makes this 11-core 0.75mm² cable special?
This cable is a beast, but it is also very smart. Let’s look at the numbers. “11-core” means it has 11 separate wires inside one jacket. “0.75mm²” is the size of each wire. This size is the “Goldilocks” of robot cables. It is not too thin to break easily. It is not too thick to be heavy. It is just right for power and control signals.NICHIGOH builds this using a special mix of materials. The copper inside is not a solid rod. It is made of many tiny strands twisted together. This is called “fine stranding.” Think of a rope versus a single stick. The rope bends easily. The stick snaps. This cable acts like a rope. It can twist, turn, and roll inside a cable carrier without getting tired.The outside jacket is special too. It resists oil. In a factory, machines leak oil and coolant. Normal rubber turns into mush when it touches oil. This cable laughs at oil. It also resists heat. It can handle up to 105°C. If your machine gets hot, this cable stays cool.

How much power can it carry? (Current Capacity)
You might ask, “Can 0.75mm² handle my load?” The answer is yes, but it depends on how many cores are on at once. For a single core of 0.75mm², the safe limit is around 11 Amps in open air. But inside a robot, it is hotter. So we usually rate it safer, around 7 to 8 Amps per core for continuous movement.Since you have 11 cores, you can send power to motors and sensors all at once. You do not need separate cables for power and data. This saves space in your cable carrier. It makes your robot arm lighter. A lighter arm moves faster. Faster movement means more profit for you.
Where should you use this cable?
This cable is not for your house wiring. Do not put it in a wall. This cable is for movement. Here are the best places to use it:
- Robotic Arms: The wrist and elbow joints bend constantly. This cable handles the twisting motion perfectly.
- Cable Carriers (Drag Chains): It slides back and forth all day. The outer jacket is slippery so it does not get stuck.
- CNC Machines: The moving gantry needs power and signals. This cable provides both.
- Automated Assembly Lines: Conveyor belts that rotate or lift need flexible connections.
- Welding Equipment: It resists the heat and sparks better than cheap cables.
- Oil Environments: If your factory makes food or cars, oil is everywhere. This cable survives where others rot.
Why choose NICHIGOH from Japan?
There are many cheap cables from other places. Why pay for NICHIGOH? Because “cheap” is expensive in the long run.NICHIGOH has been making wires for a long time. They invented the VCTF standard. When you buy this, you are buying the original recipe, not a copy. The quality control is strict. Every batch is tested for flexibility. If a batch is too stiff, they reject it.They also have the certifications you need to sell your machine.
- PSE Mark: Mandatory for Japan. Shows it is safe.
- UL Listed: Needed for the USA and Canada. Your inspector will love this.
- CE Mark: Needed for Europe. Shows it meets EU safety rules.
- CCC: Needed for China.
Having these marks on your machine makes you look professional. It helps you sell your robots to big companies.

Think about the math. A robotic arm costs tens of thousands of dollars. If it stops for one day, you lose thousands in production. A cheap cable costs $50. It breaks in 3 months. The NICHIGOH cable costs a bit more. It lasts for 5 years. Which one saves you money?The NICHIGOH 11-core cable reduces downtime. It reduces maintenance. It keeps your workers happy because they are not fixing wires. It is an investment in reliability.We sell this cable by the roll (100m) or by the meter. We can cut it to the exact length you need. We can strip the ends if you want. We can add ferrules or connectors. We make it easy for you.
