Latest Information on Flat Cables from FCT.
Applications
These PVC-insulated flat flexible cables are used for installation as power and control cables for cable tracks and carriers, transport systems, tool machinery, in particular for hoisting equipment, lifts, crane and container bridges and in all circumstances in which the cable is subjected to severe bending and continuous movement in one plane only.
These flat flexible cables are suitable for installation in dry, moist and wet rooms. These cables are not suitable for outdoor applications or ambient air temperatures below 0°C or above +40°C.

Characteristic features
- The reduced dimension means that these flat flexible cables are space-saving compared to round flexible cables.
- Considerably smaller bending radius than for round flexible cables.
- Multiple bundling of flat flexible cables possible.
- A uniform loop is formed in the axial direction such that no excess lay-up or the cores can occur.
Notes
- Free-hanging lengths of 35 m or traversing speed of 1,6 m/s should not be exceeded for the above-mentioned machinery.
- The cables must be rolled up and suspended such that no twisting or kinks occur.
- The cables should be freely suspended, secured at one end, in the lift shaft for several days before being installed.
- These should be no sharp edges in the lift shaft behind the moved cables such as supports between front and rear side of multiple-lift shafts which could damage the cables.
Durability
