　　柔性扁平电缆设计

　　大多数工程师认为扁平电缆是在计算机外围设备之间运行的廉价布线。然而，并非所有的扁平电缆创建相同。有一个特殊类别的扁平电缆，擅长使用空间效率不是唯一的考虑。

　　所谓挤压FlexX SIL™电缆是专为运动控制和自动化的灵活性、力量、和空间经济运保费。

　　挤出的FLEXX SIL™电缆是一组导线已被包裹在一个FLEXX SIL™夹克的一个特殊的挤压工艺方法。这些电缆的最典型的形状因素是一个扁平的横截面平行排列的导体。然而，电缆可以挤压在其他形状，以处理特定的需要，如舒适地连接到布线通道。

　　Extruded cable technology is unique to Cicoil Corporation， based in Valencia， California. The basic technology of encasing conductors in Flexx-Sil™ jackets has been in use for over 50 years and can be found in diverse applications ranging from jet fighters to industrial motion control equipment. A recent development is the ability to manufacture Flexx-Sil™-jacketed cable in continuous lengths through use of a proprietary extrusion process （Figure 1）。 This reduced costs， improved precision， and made it possible to manufacture long cable lengths that were impractical with older methods. These older methods involved molding wires in Flexx-Sil™， and curing the resulting cable for up to two days.
