The SAB VFD Symmetrical Lean TR Multi Core Cable features a symmetrical arrangement of the three phase leads and three tinned copper PE ground wires. This results in uniform conductor to ground impedance and capacitance which will minimize the risk of motor failure due to improper common mode current flow. The combination of both foil and tinned copper braided shields provide 100% shielding against both high and low frequency noise as well as providing low shield impedance. SAB is a proven leader in the development and manufacturing of flexible cables and continuous flex cables for over 60 years. SAB’s adherence to product quality and customer service has proven itself in thousands of the world’s most demanding Robotic and Automated applications. We now are located at 344 Kaplan Drive, Fairfield, NJ 07004. The front end of the building is where we have all of our offices. The warehouse, with its increased space, allows us to work more efficiently. We also installed high efficiency high bay fixtures on motion sensors; this has cut our electricity usage in half. A new year is upon us which means it is time to work out those annual budgets. SAB North America can help! We have developed a competitively priced CC 600 CY Lean product which help reduce cable costs while offering the same high quality SAB product you have been accustomed to. SAB’s CC 600 CY Lean is a 600 Volt, 90°C, oil resistant, PVC jacketed control cable with UL and CSA approvals. SAB’s CC 600 CY offers a reduced nominal overall diameter compared to our very popular CC 600 CY. This reduced overall diameter will equate to an even smaller bending radius. A smaller bend radius will give you more room to work within those tight spaces while our competitive prices will give you more room to work within your budget. Happy New Year from SAB North America!! Do not forget to ask your SAB Representative about our aggressive lead times on our entire product line. Do you have the right people working with you?
