Center element for high tensile stresses

1. To stabilize the composite stranding inside the cable and thereby prevent corkscrewing and core breakages.

Optimized copper litz wire

2. To prevent core breakages and thereby create durability in continuous movement, even for small bending radii in the energy supply chain.

Core insulation

3. Only top value, pressure-extruded PVC or TPE. Materials that have stood the test of time in millions of core kilometers are used in energy chain applications. 

Braiding in bundles

4. Strengthening of the core braid, relief of the cores in the radius from low tensile/pressure stressing and thereby prevention of corkscrewing and core breakages.

Gusset-filling extruded inner jacket

5. Support of the composite stranding outside and thereby prevent corkscrewing and core breakages. 

Total shield with optimized shield braiding

6. Prevention of shield breakage and thereby significant increase and/or safeguarding of the EMC features of a cable. 

Highly abrasion-resistant, with pressure extruded outer jacket

7. Support of the shield braiding, less abrasion in the energy chain and thereby demonstrably longer service life, even in highly dynamic applications.
