Flexible finely stranded cable info

utterlydiy · 3 Oct 2016

I've been looking for a cable of approx. 0.5mm and with very fine strands.

Its for a project I have where the cable has to be flexible working in a confined space. It has to operate in as a "U" where the U is approx 25mm wide, one end of the U would be fixed and the other move in either direction. Have tried panel wiring cable, but is too stiff.

Is there any other type of cable I could try to operate in confine space with no heat nearby.

Thanks

Test lead wire may be the answer This is 1mm 500 Volt 19 Amps singles in 5 metre lengths.

Look also at cables used in robotic arms.

What do you mean by 0.5mm. Is that the diameter? Or do you really mean 0.5mm² ??

Big moving U bend? You mean cable chain?
