Flat Festoon Cable (PVC)

Flat Festoon Cable (14 AWG, 12 Cond. Shown)

What is a Flat Festoon Cable?

Festoon cable is a flat portable cord designed for power and control applications used in cranes and festoon cable systems. These Flat Festoon cables are also commonly used where space is at a premium or when extreme flexing is a requirement. Most commonly available with a yellow or black jacket, other options include PVC or Neoprene for insulation and jacketing. See below for our PVC Festoon Cable offerings. If standard flat Festoon Cable specifications don't meet your needs, Allied Wire can design a custom festoon cable that matches your company's unique needs. Read about the Custom Festoon Cable we designed for a customer of ours in the aerospace industry.
