The ACT industrial sensor cables (actor cables) feature a TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) sheath, making them highly resistant to mechanical loads such as movements in a chain. The connectors are overmoulded with TPE, and the degree of protection is IP67. The superflex SF/UTP cable has each individual core consisting of 28 strands of copper, which together form a diameter of AWG26. This design makes the cable more flexible than a standard AWG24/7 patch cable. Stranded conductors are made up of uninsulated thin strands of wire twisted together. The greater the number of strands in a stranded conductor, the greater the flexibility of the wire.
