Reeling, Lift and Specialty Cables
Our control, robotics and automation capabilities allow us to design custom manufactured flexible cables that meet the most demanding specs for use in highly chemical resistant applications, reeling cable, spreader, forestry, and airport equipment (boarding bridges).
Tray Cables/VFD Cables
UL and CSA-listed tray cables for use in control systems, machinery, conveyors, control panels, assembly and production lines and processing equipment. Each carries a Class 1 Division 2 explosion classification and a WTTC rating for wind turbines. The lineup features flexible versions as well as round cables that allow installers to pull more cables at a time, thereby avoiding a stiff, complicated setup.
UL and CSA-listed VFD cables for use in paper mills, cement plants, mining controls, automotive plants, steel mills, and HVAC applications as well. Anywhere VFD motors are used SAB has a cable to offer. We have one ground or symmetrical ground options, power only or power with 1 or 2 pairs. We also offer continuous flex options and 2KV for larger motors. Combine with our EMC grounding glands and protect your installation from EMI interference.
Data and Sensor Cables
SAB offers a wide range of data and sensor cables designed to meet or exceed high-speed data communications requirements for the exact measurement of physical values, precise positioning, measuring tolerances, and production control. These applications require SAB’s flexible data cables with the smallest cross-sections and a variety of shielding options to protect against high-frequency interference or interference from adjoining circuits.
Features:
■ 26 AWG to 16 AWG data/communication cables
■ Shielded, unshielded and paired with overall shield
■ Flexible for easier routing
Servo Motor Cables
Designed for quick connections and worry-free operation in continuous flex and static applications, SAB servo cables are available in a broad range of power, signal, feedback, and control configurations. These halogen-free cables offer good E MC characteristics and resist oils for a long service life. These cables are ideal for applications such as cable tracks, handling equipment, pick-and-place units, gantry robots, machine tools, CNC machinery and more.
Features:
■ Halogen-free versions ■ Good chemical resistance
■ Long operating life ■ Suitable for use in cable tracks
■ Available in position or feedback versions with copper shield (0.6/1 kV or overall)
European Standardized Cables
We offer PVC hook-up wires and PVC cordage that's manufactured to meet the European Union's (EU's) harmonized standards (HAR).
High Temperature Cables
For application areas with very high temperatures, SAB has developed different heat-resistant cables and fire-resistant cables that can be optimized for use depending on the application. Temperature-resistant cables from SAB are often used in the steel industry, plastics processing, refrigeration, heating, and air conditioning technology, in the lamp and lighting industry or in sauna construction.
Features:
■ Suitable for areas with high ambient temperatures in dry, damp or wet areas
■ Resist temperatures as low as -50°C
■ Resist high temperatures up to +180°C for continuous operation and up to +250 °C for short periods.
■ Continuous flex versions available
Bus and Ethernet Cables
High-speed data exchange has become the cornerstone of factory automation as manufacturers harness real-time information to improve efficiencies and processes. SAB’s flexible bus cables are designed for industrial applications that require power, sensor, and data communications. We also offer a complete range of halogen-free bus cables.
SAB's Category cables (CAT 5/ Profinet, CAT 5e, CAT 6 & 6A, CAT 7A) are available for a multitude of applications: static, flexible, continuous flex, torsion, reeling, cleanroom, marine and railway.
Halogen-Free Cables
SAB single or multi-conductor halogen-free cables are used in applications where it's necessary to have insulation with low smoke generation, toxicity, and corrosiveness. These cables are suitable for a wide range of industrial machinery and automation applications, plus food and beverage processes, conveyors, and control panels. Over 30 different SABIX® compounds available to meet your specific application.
Features:
■ Designed not to give off corrosive gases in case of fire.
■ SABIX® BL marine data, control, and power cables are halogen-free, flame retardant, and self-extinguishing.
■ SABIX® EN 45545-2 approved Rail cables are available as a control or data cable.
■ SABIX® Ultra- continuous flex with highest fire protection,
ETFE, FEP and PFA Cables
Extreme harsh environments demand highly resistant materials. These requirements are fulfilled by our cables made of ETFE, FEP or PFA. These cables can be used for a temperature range from -90°C up to +260°C. Furthermore, our ETFE, FEP and /or PFA insulated cables are resistant against many chemical influences with high mechanical resistance at the same time. Possible application fields are for example chemical industry, furnace construction and telecommunication.

Compensation and Extension Cables
SAB can help ensure reliable and safe thermoelectric voltage from thermocouple to cold junction — the so-called “black box” — with compensating and extension cables with various insulation materials, braiding, foils, and armoring options. Cables made of original materials are called extension or thermocouple cables, whereas conductor materials made of substitutes are known as compensating cables.
