Continuous-Flex CFBUS.055 FireWire Cable for Longer Distances
Description
The CFBUS.055 FireWire cable is designed for continuous flexing and tight bending radii inside a cable carrier. Its bus pairs and supply wires are twisted together with flexible shields and an optimized pitch length. The gusset-filling extruded, flame-resistant, TPE outer jacket provides the protection the cable needs to prevent core ruptures.
The FireWire cable is tested to more than 6 million flex cycles and transmission lengths up to 65.5 ft (20 m) are possible. Harnesses can be assembled in standard and custom lengths. The cables are USA and Canadian UL compliant.
