In its various cable ranges, igus offers electrically identical cables with mechanically different qualities. This allows you to achieve the optimum price-performance ratio. An example of control cables with a core cross section of 4x0.5mm²:

Control cable CF880, bend radius 12.5 x d and PVC-outer jacket: very cost-effective solution
Control cable CF5, smaller bend radius 6.8 x d with PVC outer jacket and oil resistance: greater technical advantage leads to slightly higher price per metre
Oil/bio-oil resistant control cable CF98 cable with TPE jacket and a bend radius of only 4 x d: greatest technical advantage at the best price

Price check and guarantee direct from the manufacturer: a selection of 1,350 cables with a 4-year guarantee.

With the chainflex price check, you can quickly find the right cable for your needs. Each electrical specification is available in seven cable qualities. You have the choice: cost-effective price or the cable for high technical requirements. You can choose the right product for you in gradations. Whatever you choose, we give a 4-year guarantee on your cable.

∎ Proof

And here are three concrete approaches for you to realise success quickly:

Example 1: replacing PUR safely with cost-effective PVC

As a jacket material, PUR has considerable advantages in some areas, but not all. It is our aim to enable you to decide objectively whether a cable with a PVC jacket may not only be sufficient but actually present a better solution.

Example 2: correctly defining data volumes for Ethernet cables

It is common practice to use the Ethernet cable of the highest possible category. However, this often means a high price and is not always necessary from a technical point of view. With this session, we want to convey the idea that choosing the right data transmission volume can be a good way of saving money.

Example 3: turning large motor cables into compact single cores

In various areas, the use of single cores for motors has led to a significant increase in cable service life. Moreover, cable costs have been substantially reduced. In this session, we would like to make this knowledge much more widely available and present clear solutions.
