Alpha Wire XTRA-GUARD FLEX Series Multi-Core Industrial Cable 4 Cores 0.38 mm² 30 m Slate Sheath Polyvinyl Chloride

This multi-core industrial cable is designed for control and data use in automated and electrical systems where flexible, screened transmission is required. It combines tinned copper conductors with a protective PVC outer to perform reliably in continuous-flex installations across varied ambient conditions.

• Tin-plated 19-strand conductors for improved corrosion resistance and flexibility
• 0.38 mm² conductor cross-section supporting Compact routing and reliable current capacity
• 300V voltage rating suitable for common control and signalling circuits
• PVC outer sheath providing oil and sunlight resistance for exposed routing
• Withstands up to +105 °C for high-temperature operational needs
• 5.87mm outside diameter enabling space-efficient cable bundles

• Suitable for factory automation control wiring in cable carriers
• Ideal for machine tool signal and control circuits
• Used with panel-mounted equipment for interconnection of control modules
• Can be used for robotics harnessing where continuous Flex is required
• Suitable for instrumentation wiring in process control environments

The assembly incorporates an aluminium/Mylar tape with a tinned-copper drain and a braided shield providing at least 90% coverage to reduce external noise and offer a convenient earthing path.

Use a minimum bend radius equal to eight times the cable diameter for both static and dynamic conditions and limit pull tension to 29 lb to avoid conductor damage.

Each conductor has semi-rigid PVC insulation and the core bundle is wrapped with polyester tape before a nominal 0.040 in PVC jacket, combining mechanical cushioning with abrasion and environmental resistance.

The cable meets RoHS requirements and the applicable EU Low Voltage Directive provisions, and it is manufactured free of listed SVHCs above threshold levels in accordance with REACH guidance.
