Your Lifeline to a Lifetime of Reliability

Alpha Wire's XTRA.GUARD® FleXible Cable are designed to deliver extreme performance and system reliability in most extreme environments, keeping automated systems running and data flowing at maximum capacity. What we call a "Lifeline to a Lifetime of Reliability."

What makes them unique is their ability to withstand the physical abuses of extreme flexing; immersion in oils, chemicals, solvents and fuels; EMI/RFI interference; UV exposure; abrasion; heat; cold; and direct burial.

Whatever your application - single or double axis, torsional, bending (tic-toc), rolling or variable (random motion), from 1 million to 20 million flex life cycles - from automation equipment to materials handling; robotics to automation networking; industrial electronic processing equipment to assembly line; and from medicine to aerospace, when you need a lifeline of reliability, specify XTRA.GUARD® FleXible Cable.

The Industry's Most Extensive Line of Flexible Cables

With the introduction of the following line extensions, Alpha Wire now offers the industry's most extensive family of flexible cables.

NEW large AWG sizes (2, 4, 6 and 8 AWG) for flexible and flexing applications requiring greater current carrying capability

NEW tray rated Flexible Control and Continuous Flex Control Cables for flexible and flexing applications that must be in compliance with the National Electric Code (NEC)

All XTRA.GUARD® FleXible Cable are now available in both shielded and unshielded constructions as your application requires.

Avoiding Cable Failure

One of the key factors in cable failure in flexing environments is the breakdown of the jacket materials, particularly the shielding, as it is exposed to extreme differences in bend radiuses on the inner and outer edges. Therefore, the importance of specifying the correct flexible cable from the outset can not be over stressed.

To Flex or Not to Flex?

Choosing the correct flexible cable for an extreme flexing application is not an easy task. To help you specify the perfectly matched flexible cable for a lifetime of high-performance reliability, Alpha Wire has developed a unique online flexible cable SeleXion Guide at www.xtraguard.com/selexion.cfm.

Also at www.xtraguard.com/crossRef.html you'll find our Flexible Cable Cross Reference Guide. Simply select a manufacturer from the drop down list, type in a part number and you'll automatically be informed of the equivalent XTRA.GUARD® FleXible Cable.

Plus, in the Technical Area at www.xtraguard.com you’ll find full instructions to help you correctly install your XTRA.GUARD® FleXible Cable to benefit from a Lifetime of Reliability.
