  • Product description

    Cable | 1x240 mm² | highly flexible | KAWEFLEX 5178 SC SK-PVC

    KAWEFLEX 5178 SC SK-PVC 1x240 mm² is a single-core double-insulated cable designed for continuous movement. Intended for high-current circuits in moving systems where an ordinary cable would quickly break.

    Key idea:
    In a cable chain the cable is flexed thousands of times a day. This requires a special design – not an ordinary installation cable.
