In confined spaces, cables often face tight bends and complex routing, increasing the likelihood of wear, cracking, or short circuits over time. Our Light Duty Cables are designed with flexible, high-durability insulation materials such as thermoplastics and elastomers. These materials provide excellent resistance to bending stresses and mechanical fatigue, ensuring longevity even in narrow cable routing scenarios. With low-friction coatings, they easily maneuver through tight spaces without abrasion, reducing wear and increasing cable life.

0.5 mm² to 16 mm², available in various configurations depending on current capacity and application needs.

Sheath Material

Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), polyethylene (PE), or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) for mechanical protection and flexibility.

Armoring

Optional galvanized steel wire armoring (SWA) or aluminum wire armoring (AWA) for enhanced mechanical strength.

Current-Carrying Capacity

Ranges from 5A to 50A, depending on conductor size, insulation material, and environmental factors.

Flexibility

Highly flexible, designed with multi-stranded fine-gauge conductors and flexible insulation materials.

Cable Size

2 to 4 cores

Outer Diameter

3.0 mm to 15.0 mm depending on configuration, insulation, and armoring specifications.

Mechanical Protection

Impact-resistant sheath, optional armoring for additional protection against mechanical stress and abrasion.

Standards Compliance

Complies with IEC 60228, UL 1581, ISO 6722, RoHS, and REACH standards.

Technical Specifications

Light Duty Cables & Wires include shielded designs with copper braids or aluminum-mylar foil shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). With low-capacitance conductors, our cables ensure that your signal transmission remains clear, accurate, and distortions-free. This makes them ideal for environments where data integrity and signal precision are essential.

We offer tangle-resistant and highly flexible cables engineered with multi-stranded conductors and fine-gauge wires. These cables provide superior flexibility and resistance to repetitive bending. They have been rigorously tested in dynamic environments to ensure they can endure millions of flex cycles without compromising performance.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Question

What materials are commonly used in light duty cables and wires, and why?

Light duty cables and wires are often made from copper or aluminum. Copper is good for carrying electricity because it has low resistance, which means less energy loss. Aluminum is lighter and cheaper but has higher resistance. Sometimes, wires are coated with materials like PVC or Teflon to protect them from heat and chemicals.

How do the gauge sizes of light duty wires affect their performance?

The gauge size refers to the thickness of the wire. A lower gauge number means a thicker wire, which can carry more current without overheating. For example, a 10-gauge wire can handle more power than a 20-gauge wire. Using the right gauge is important to avoid overheating and ensure safe operation.

What is the significance of insulation in light duty cables?

Insulation is the protective layer around the wire. It prevents electrical shock and keeps wires from touching each other, which could cause short circuits. Different insulation materials, like PVC or rubber, offer various heat resistance and durability levels, making them suitable for different applications.

How do temperature ratings affect the use of light duty cables?

Temperature ratings tell you how much heat a cable can handle without damage. Light duty cables are usually rated for specific temperatures -10°C to 60°C. Using a cable outside its temperature rating can lead to insulation breakdown or wire failure, so choosing the right cable for your environment is crucial.

What are the common applications for light duty cables and wires?

Light-duty cables and wires are used in many everyday devices, including household appliances, lighting, and low-power electronics. Understanding your application’s specific requirements, like voltage and current needs, will help you choose the right cable for optimal performance and safety.
