Rated for Class 1 Clean Room use, Cicoil’s highly flexible networking cables are free of halogens, do not shed surface particulates, are ideal for cryogenic environments and in semiconductor manufacturing equipment applications. In addition, Cicoil’s contamination-free network cables meet the Air Cleanliness Requirements of ISO 146441, exceed the outgassing requirements of ASTM E595 and are suitable for vacuum environments as well.

 

Cicoil’s standard network cable offering includes Ethernet (Cat 5e & Cat 6A), Dual Shielded Camera Link, Controlled Impedance, USB (2.0 & 3.0), Flexible Coax (50 ohm and 75 ohm), HDMI and FireWire cables. These “off the shelf” cables are available for immediate delivery and cable assemblies, complete with connectors, are offered in 3-, 6- and 12-ft lengths. Custom designs are also available with minimum lead times. In addition, Cicoil offers anti-friction coatings, custom shape and torsion designs by request.

 

Providing uninterrupted reliability and long-term flex service life, the lightweight designs don’t require internal lubricants and are an excellent alternative to round cables that contain contaminants, such as talc, fillers, tapes and hazardous materials. The solid, one-piece construction is also an excellent replacement to noisy, space consuming and particulate generating cable tracks.

 

Cicoil’s patented extrusion process allows individual shielded power and signal pairs to be separately encased in a single flat cable, while also meeting applicable data network speed and electrical requirements. Spacing, insulation thickness and overall cable shape are precisely controlled and the rectangular cross-section allows multiple flat cables to stacked with almost no wasted dead space between cables.

 

The crystal clear Flexx-Sil rubber outer jacket is self-healing from small punctures and will not wear, crack or deform due to long-term exposure to de-ionized water, alcohol, tight routing, vibration, temperature extremes (-65° to 165°C), UV light, mechanical stress and many chemicals.

 

Cicoil’s Network Cables are UL Recognized, CE Conforming, RoHS & REACH Compliant and are cured continuously, with no debris or material contamination in an automated, climate controlled environment.
