Flexx-Sil™ by Cicoil
Design exactly the unique cable needed, in the smallest possible package. Save space and reduce cost. Flexx-Sil™ flexible cable jacket and our finely stranded ultra-flex wire conductors combine to make Cicoil flat cables the most flexible on the market. Tested for tens of millions of cycles, Custom Cicoil flexible flat cables from Rayfast deliver reliable performance and long life.
For applications involving repetitive motion, shock and vibration, harsh environments, and temperature extremes.
Performance
- Cicoil flat cable and cable assemblies, with Flexx-Sil™ encapsulation, perform flawlessly in temperatures from -104°C to +260°C
- Cicoil Flexx-Sil™ flat cable is ultra-flexible down to -100°C and can withstand the rigors of supersonic flight
- Will last millions of cycles in the most demanding, constantly flexing applications
- Water/Chemical/UV Resistant – Flexx-Sil™ jacketing is water-proof (including immersion), is resistant to most chemicals and can operate for years in intense UV & sunlight conditions.
- Engineering experience and manufacturing knowledge in designing and manufacturing any cable assembly for the most extreme applications
Quality
- Low Outgassing – The purity of Flexx-Sil™ means that it has very low outgassing characteristics, as the molecular bond is extremely strong and the extrusion process results in virtually zero impurities.
- Durable – Flexx-Sil™ has a Durometer of 65 (Shore A) and can also be provided in a SuperTuff™ version with a Durometer of 85 (Shore A).
- AS9100 Certified Quality System meets all aerospace standards
