Specify:

FLEX LIFE
 

SHIELDING
None Aluminum / Mylar foil Drain wire
Braided (box weave) => Specify % coverage

DIMENSIONS
Please specify feet / inches or meters / millimeters – refer to the dimension reference drawings below.
• Extended length in normal use
• Retracted length (Dimension A)
  (note: normal extended length is 5 times the retracted length for most designs)  
   
• Coil outside diameter (Dimension B)
Critical Dimension? No (use standard) Yes (specify max and/or min)
   
• Cable outside diameter (Dimension D)
Critical Dimension? No (use standard) Yes (specify max and/or min)
 
Note: that the overall cable diameter (Dimension D) relies heavily on the internal cabling and the outer jacket material and required thickness.
• Ends
