Tired of Signal Noise and Broken Wires in Tight Spaces?
You have a big problem with your current control cables. You are building a complex machine, a medical robot, or an aerospace system. The space inside is very small. Every millimeter counts. But you need to send 40 different signals without them messing up each other.Your current cables are too stiff. They break when you bend them. The signals get mixed up because of electromagnetic interference (EMI). You see “ghost” signals on your screen. The machine stops working correctly. You try to fix it, but the wires are too thick to fit in the connector. This costs you time and money. You need a cable that is thin, flexible, and stops noise completely. You need a cable that works the first time, every time.
What Makes This SHOWA Cable Different?
This is not just a standard wire. This is a high-tech solution from SHOWA, a trusted Japanese brand. We designed this cable specifically for high-precision tasks. It has 40 tiny cores inside. Each core is only 0.05 square millimeters. That is very thin. But it is strong.The “twisted pair” design is the secret. We twist two wires together. This cancels out noise from the outside. If you have 20 pairs twisted correctly, the signal stays clean. We also add a shield. This is a metal wrap around the wires. It catches any leftover noise and sends it to the ground. Your data stays safe.The jacket is soft and gray. It is made of special PVC or Fluoropolymer. It bends easily. You can pull it through tight pipes without damaging the inside. It is “imported Japanese quality.” That means the copper is pure, and the making process is very strict. You get a cable that lasts a long time.
Technical Specs You Can Trust
We know you need numbers. Here are the real specs for this specific model. We do not hide anything.

- Conductor Size: 0.05 sq mm (Approx. 32 AWG to 36 AWG equivalent)
- Structure: Twisted Pair (2 wires twisted) + Overall Shielding
- Shield Type: Foil + Braid (Double shield for best protection)
- Jacket Material: Soft PVC or Fluoropolymer (Halogen-free option)
- Jacket Color: Soft Gray (RAL 7001 or similar)
- Outer Diameter: Very small (approx. 6.0mm – 7.0mm depending on jacket)
- Voltage: Low voltage (Signal/Data use only, usually <48V)
- Temperature Range: -20°C to +80°C (PVC) or up to +200°C (Fluoropolymer)
- Flexibility: Ultra-flexible (Bend radius is 5x outer diameter)
- Impedance: Controlled (usually 100 Ohms for data pairs)
- Capacitance: Low (approx. 40-50 pF/m between pairs)
Where Should You Use This Cable?
You can use this cable anywhere you need many signals in a small space. It is perfect for “mission-critical” jobs. If the cable fails, the system fails. We see customers use it for:
- Robotics: Industrial robot arms need to move a lot. Stiff cables break. This soft cable moves with the arm. It sends power and sensor data together.
- Medical Equipment: CT scanners and endoscopes have tiny cameras. They need very thin cables to send high-quality video. This cable fits inside the tube.
- Aerospace & Defense: Planes and drones need to save weight. This cable is light. The shielding protects sensitive radar and communication signals.
- Factory Automation: PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) panels. You connect sensors to the main computer. You need 40 wires to control one machine. This cable saves space in the control box.
- Audio/Broadcast: Professional audio snakes (multicore cables). The twisted pairs keep the left and right audio channels separate. No humming noise.
Why Buy “Imported Japanese” Cable?
You might find cheaper cables from other places. But “cheap” often costs more later. Japanese cable standards (like JIS) are very high.
- Pure Copper: We use high-purity copper. Cheap cables use recycled copper or copper-clad aluminum. Aluminum breaks easily and conducts poorly.
- Precision Twisting: The twist rate is exact. If the twist is wrong, the noise cancellation does not work. SHOWA machines twist with high precision.
- Jacket Strength: The gray jacket resists oil and chemicals. In a factory, oil spills can melt cheap plastic. Our jacket resists it.
- Consistency: Every meter is the same. You won’t get one good batch and one bad batch. This is important for automated cutting machines.
How We Solve Your “Installation Headache”
Installing 40 wires is hard. If you have 40 single wires, it is a mess. You have to tape them together. They get tangled. With this twisted pair cable, you have one single cable.You pull it once. You are done. The pairs are color-coded. Usually, you will see Blue/White, Orange/White, Green/White, Brown/White, and so on. This makes it easy for your technicians to connect the right wire to the right pin. You do not need a degree to figure out the wiring.The cable is soft. You do not need strong force to push it through the drag chain. It glides smoothly. This reduces wear and tear on the connector.
Frequently Asked Questions About This Product
Is this cable suitable for high-speed data like Ethernet?It is good for industrial protocols (like RS-485, CAN bus, Modbus). For standard 1Gbps Ethernet, you might need Cat5e or Cat6 structure. But for most sensor data and control signals, it is perfect. The impedance is controlled to reduce signal loss.Can I strip the outer jacket easily?Yes. We use a special “tear-resistant” but easy-to-strip jacket. You can use a standard wire stripper. The inner insulation is also easy to strip without nicking the tiny 0.05mm copper strands.Is the gray jacket UV resistant?The standard PVC gray jacket is for indoor use. If you need outdoor use, we recommend the Fluoropolymer or Polyurethane (PUR) jacket. It resists sunlight (UV) and moisture much better.What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?Because this is a special imported item, we usually sell by the reel (100m or 200m). But we can cut it to length for you. If you need a sample to test first, contact us. We can often arrange a small sample piece.How does the shielding work?There are two layers. First, a mylar foil wrap around each pair or the whole core. Second, a braided copper mesh over the foil. This double shield stops both high-frequency and low-frequency noise. It is like a fortress for your signal.
Real-World Success Story
A customer in Germany makes packaging machines. They used to buy local 40-core cable. It was thick (8mm diameter). The drag chain on their machine was full. The wires rubbed against each other and shorted out. The machine stopped 3 times a week.They switched to our SHOWA 0.05 sq mm cable. The diameter was only 6.2mm. It fit in the drag chain with extra room. The machine ran for 6 months without a single wire break. The downtime went to zero. They saved more money on repairs than they spent on the better cable.
