One of the e-stop circuits has a mains voltage (to open the contactor). You don't normally mix mains voltage and low signal voltage within the same cable over a long distance.

Steve, if all the reputable cable producers are talking of a bend radius nearer 10 to 20 times diameter, why would an unknown brand be able to offer 4 times?

If you read carefully, you are going to find that 4 x diameter applies to a static installation......flexed once in its life only.

Jestah, that rep for the cable was just feeding you salestalk. Any cable can be used in a drag chain - it depends on radius of bend and number of cycles. Some hi-tech machinery out there move fast...

Irfan, the cable chain and the cables must be compatible - you need to find a balance between the radius of the cable chain/carrier and the bend radius of the cable itself. I think your problem is...

Guys, please guard against repeating quotations out here on a public forum, because this sometimes results in the big corporate clamping down on distributors who sell cheap.
