Key Features
Flexible Spiral Cable Design
The TPU or PU spiral cable structure provides excellent flexibility and retractable memory, allowing the harness to extend when required and return to a compact form after use.
Reliable Serial Communication Connection
The combination of 4P4C and DB9 connectors supports stable communication interfaces for PLC programming, industrial controllers, and diagnostic equipment.
Industrial-Grade Cable Protection
The outer jacket is designed to withstand daily industrial use, including repeated bending, cable movement, and exposure to common factory environments.
Space-Saving Cable Management
The coiled structure reduces cable storage space, prevents unnecessary cable loops, and helps maintain organized work areas around industrial equipment.
Industrial Applications
PLC Programming & Maintenance
Used for connecting programming devices, controllers, and diagnostic interfaces during PLC setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting.
Industrial Controllers & HMI Equipment
Suitable for handheld controllers, operator interfaces, and industrial electronic devices requiring flexible communication connections.
CNC & Automation Systems
Provides reliable serial communication links for CNC equipment, automation machinery, and control systems where flexible cable movement is required.
Technical & Surface Performance
The spiral wire harness uses flexible TPU or PU outer jacket materials designed for repeated bending, extension, and daily industrial use. The coiled structure helps maintain cable flexibility while reducing permanent deformation during operation.
The internal conductors use high-purity tinned copper multi-strand wires to provide stable signal transmission and improved corrosion resistance for industrial communication applications.
Connector ends are reinforced with strain relief structures to reduce stress concentration at bending points and improve long-term cable durability.
