When you need cable that has to meet high performance standards, there is no better choice than miniature cable. Miniature cable is able to be effectively used in the tightest of spaces while making no compromises in performance and quality. In today’s blog we will be looking at some reasons why you should consider buying miniature cable for your tight space cable application needs. We will focus on supported industries, construction options, and the wide range of material choices. Continue reading to learn about these three factors as to why you should purchase miniature cable!
Supported Industries:
Due to the characteristics of miniature cable, it is able to be used in a wide range of industries. These industries include but are not limited to: medical instruments, automotive controls, aircraft controls, displays, consumer goods, agriculture, orthodontics, automotive controls, commercial applications, tagging, security, sporting goods, and office equipment. Whatever industry you are in, there’s a high chance that miniature cable can be used in specific applications.
Various Constructions:
Another great feature of miniature cable is the variety of constructions that are available. A few options include 1x7 & 1x19 strand and 3x7, 7x3, 7x7, & 7x19 cable. The cable options are considered more flexible than the 1x strand constructions. Strand is typically used in push-pull applications, while the other construction types have a higher flexibility and are used in various applications.
Material Options:
The best miniature cable material option is stainless steel. Stainless steel is known for its corrosion resistance and high strength properties. Often, miniature cable is jacketed with a plastic coating. Two coating types we recommend are PVC and Nylon. PVC has excellent weatherability and UV resistance and is available in a range of hardness and durometers, depending on your application. Nylon has excellent fatigue and chemical resistance leading to a very long service life.
