Control cables are still used everywhere in automation. This Although data cables have different electrical
makes it all the more important for control cables for constant requirements than bus cables, data cables have a
movement in e-chains to have a safe construction in order specific requirement for EMC protection. In the case of

to meet increasingly stringent mechanical requirements. constant movement in e-chains , the EMC shielding is

subjected to very high mechanical loads.
The special properties of the chainflex control cables are: To ensure that this load does not lead to failures in the data,

a safe construction is important, especially in the shielding.
