Southwire’s Machine Flex Power Cable: Revolutionizing Installation with Flexibility and Safety

 

When it comes to wiring installations, flexibility and ease of use are key factors that can make or break a project. Many standard cables often fall short in terms of flexibility or ease of pulling. Installers may need to improvise with tools or installation methods, risking damage to the cable's insulation or, in the worst-case scenario, needing to start the installation from scratch.

This not only delays projects but can also increase physical stress on the installers. The repetitive nature of these installations often leads to fatigue, raising the risk of injury and reducing overall productivity.

The Solution: Southwire's Machine Flex Power Cable

To address these challenges, Southwire offers the Machine Flex Power Cable, a specialized solution designed to make difficult installations easier and more efficient. Rated T-90 or RW90, this cable combines the insulation properties and easy pulling features of traditional cables with the flexibility of fine-stranded copper.

By using Machine Flex Power Cable, installers can experience more uniform installations with less damage to conductor insulation. The design allows the cable to bend and maneuver easily in tight spaces, while still maintaining enough rigidity to hold its form during installation. This balance of flexibility and strength helps reduce fatigue for workers, minimizing accidents and enhancing productivity on the job site.

Benefits for Installers and Projects

The benefits of Southwire’s Machine Flex Power Cable go beyond ease of installation. With less fatigue and a reduced risk of injury, installers can work more efficiently, leading to faster project completion times and improved safety on the job. Many of these cables are ULCSA and CE rated, making them suitable for use in various regions around the world, adding a layer of versatility for international projects.

With Southwire’s innovative solution, you can ensure your next wiring installation is both safer and more efficient, saving time, reducing costs, and improving overall outcomes. GCG has a dedicated Wire & Cable Product Manager to help you succeed.
