01 / PRODUCT OVERVIEW

Define the construction from system constraints

This information supports product direction and early technical discussions. Yidong Telecom defines final materials, dimensions and manufacturing around the actual interface, environment and validation target.

01

Fatigue-life direction

Reduce cyclic damage through stranding, material modulus and stress distribution.

02

Tight bend radius

Manage conductor migration, ovalization and localized stress in compact spaces.

03

Dynamic signal stability

Maintain impedance, shielding and termination geometry during motion.

04

Low-friction routing

Match jacket surface and construction to stroke, speed and guidance.

02 / PRODUCT TYPES

Series scope and selection direction

Each type must be further defined by protocol, length, installation and environmental conditions. A category name is not a fixed specification.

01

Flat Cables

Low-profile parallel constructions for controlled planar motion and compact installation.

02

Hybrid Round Cables

Data, control, video, pneumatic or power units combined in one jacket to reduce moving cable count.

03 / ENGINEERING DESIGN

Critical design goals

Typical construction path

01

High-flex conductors

Fine-stranded bundles optimized for resistance, flexibility and fatigue.

02

Fatigue-resistant insulation

Low-modulus, abrasion-resistant polymers with the required electrical properties.

03

Motion units

Data pairs, coax, fiber and power elements arranged around stress and neutral-axis behavior.

04

Slip & shield layers

Tapes, fillers and shields manage internal friction and conductor movement.

05

Dynamic jacket

Configured for carrier, free-flex or torsional motion.

04 / SELECTION & VALIDATION

Inputs needed to start solution assessment

01

Flex, torsion or combined motion

02

Stroke, speed, acceleration and cycle frequency

03

Installed bend radius and free length

04

Signal, power and pneumatic mix

05

Jacket friction, cleanliness, vacuum and ESD

06

Target cycles and validation conditions

IMPORTANT NOTE

Flex life depends on radius, stroke, speed, temperature, load and installation. Samples must be validated against the actual motion profile.
