RHEYFLAT®-N (N)GFLCGOEU-J

Screened Rubber Flat Festoon Cables 300 / 500V

Applications

Used for festoon and handling systems, machine tools, lifts and e-chain cable carrier systems. For applications with high mechanical stress and frequent bending in one plane only. Copper screens are efficient against electro magnetic disturbances caused by power cables.
