Ask an Engineer

Q. How would you specify cable flexibility? Are there certain tests or standards that define flexibility?

A. We're not aware of any industry-wide tests or standards used to define flexibility. However, Northwire's subject matter experts work with our customers to define cable flexibility. Northwire offers finite element analysis and free design and rapid prototyping services. We rigorously test cables for rolling, torsional and bending flex. This ensures we understand our customer's definition of flexibility and helps us provide a cable solution that will exceed the requirements of the application.
