Cicoil flat cable assemblies

Click2Contact

For unmanned systems, intelligent robotics and drone applications that require lightweight and flexible cable designs, Treotham is offering kink-resistant, rugged and space-saving flat cables and assemblies from Cicoil.

Each Cicoil cable can incorporate a variety of elements, including power conductors, shielded signal pairs, video and coax conductors, and other design elements like Cicoil’s StripMount fastening strip, all in a single, compact cable design.

Cicoil’s computer-controlled extrusion process allows each individual component to be placed in a flat parallel profile, precisely controlling the spacing of each component, insulation thickness and overall cable shape. This ensures that each of the internal pairs or conductors do not rub against each other, wear during operation and provide optimum EMI/RFI suppression. The rectangular cross-section also allows multiple flat cables to stack or layer, with almost no wasted dead space between cables, providing maximum conductor density for a given volume.

The outer jacket is self-healing from small punctures and will not wear, crack or deform due to long-term exposure to vibration, sunlight, acid, submersion in water, sea ice, steam, coarse sand, flames, radiation, mechanical stress, humidity, ozone, UV light, fungus, high altitudes and many chemicals, as well as from temperature extremes of -65 to +165°C.
