GORE® High Flex Flat Cable

GORE® High Flex Flat Cables provide a simple cable management system in applications where flex life reliability is critical. The reliable performance of these cables reduces the expensive equipment downtime and repair that can be caused by cable failure. GORE® High Flex Flat Cables can be used in any energy chain or cable track; reducing particulation and eliminating the need for dividers.


Smaller Package Size Reduces Overall Size, Weight, and Footprint

  • Bundling of electrical and pneumatic lines results in smaller package size, reducing overall size and weight of your cable track solution
  • Cable track may not be needed for short stroke lengths of 0.5m (20") or less
  • Cables can be stacked together to further reduce the overall foot print
  • Requires less space than round cable

Features and Benefits

  • Proven flex life greater than 20 million cycles at 50 mm (2") bend radius reduces expensive equipment downtime
  • Clean, non-particulating jacket makes it ideal for cleanroom environments
  • Easy on-line design tool, with options for production-ready or prototype designs

  • Improve Cable Reliability in Cleanrooms

  • When cables move, flex, and rub against cable chains, the cable jackets can shed particles. In addition, the materials used in constructing cables and assemblies can outgas and contaminate in a cleanroom. GORE® High Flex Flat Cables provide a cost effective solution for cleanroom cable systems and are certified for ISO Class 1 Cleanrooms and low pressure vacuum environments.
