Flat cables withstand long-term cryogenic conditions

Integrating multiple elements into a compact flat cable allows for a tighter bend radius, space and weight savings, noise reduction and a longer service life. Cicoil’s Flexx-Sil Flat Cables can incorporate controlled impedance pairs, power conductors, Ethernet, thermocouple, coax, USB, Firewire, tubing for liquid or air transfer and a fastening strip into a single flat profile. They provide reliability and temperature flexibility—from -65°C to 260°C—making them suitable for cryogenic applications. No external conduits are needed for protection and the cable will retain its flexibility even after long-term exposure to chemicals, extreme temperatures, vibration and mechanical stress.
