Flexible cables are electrical wires designed to bend and move easily without breaking. They consist of many small strands of wire, which allows them to be more pliable than traditional solid cables. This flexibility makes them ideal for applications where movement is required, such as in machinery, robotics, and portable devices. These cables are often used in environments where space is limited or where equipment needs to be frequently repositioned. Common types of flexible cables include multi-strand cables and flat cables, which are engineered to withstand repeated bending and twisting while maintaining electrical conductivity.
