Low voltage PUR-C-HF EMC Festoon Cable for Moving Industrial Equipment
Key Features
- EMC screened design: The TCWB tinned copper wire braid with minimum 80% coverage helps protect control and power circuits from electromagnetic influence.
- Built for motion: Suitable for festoon and chain systems with travel speeds up to 210 m/min, subject to system length and installation conditions.
- Durable PUR-HF sheath: The halogen-free, flame-retardant polyurethane sheath resists oil, hydrolysis, solvents, alkalis, ozone, UV and moisture.
- Low-voltage industrial rating: Rated at 0.6/1kV with 3.5kV AC factory test voltage for 5 minutes.
- Wide selection range: Available in screened single-core power cable, multi-core power cable, control cable and screened pair constructions.

FAQ
What is the Low voltage PUR-C-HF EMC Festoon Cable used for?
The Low voltage PUR-C-HF EMC Festoon Cable is used as a screened power and control cable in festoon systems, drag chains, machine tools, drag lines and material handling equipment.
Why does this cable use a tinned copper wire braid?
The TCWB screen provides EMC protection by reducing the effect of electromagnetic interference on the cable circuit, which is important in crane, automation and motor-driven equipment environments.
Can this cable be used outdoors?
Yes. The PUR-HF outer sheath is suitable for indoor and outdoor use and is resistant to ozone, UV, moisture, oils and weather exposure.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Please provide the cable size, number of cores or pairs, required length, application type, travel distance, bending radius, operating speed and any special marking or packing requirements.
