Two of the year’s most anticipated events are nearly upon us, and SAB will proudly be in the middle of the action at both. We’re ready to connect with innovators like you who demand reliable, high-performance cables that expand the possibilities of machine design. During Pack Expo International in Chicago from October 18 to 21, 2026 at Booth LU-8962, and MD&M Midwest in Minneapolis on October 28 and 29 at Booth 1721, you’ll have the opportunity to view our varied lineup of high-quality cable and connectivity products plus more.
Cables With High Flex Life, Durability
In the packaging, processing, advanced manufacturing and other industries served by Pack Expo and MD&M, moving parts and tight installation spaces often subject rigid cables to excessive mechanical stress. That makes it critical to have compact cables with high flex life, exceptional durability and safeguards against interference. At SAB, our flexible cables are built to operate under constant motion, stand up to harsh conditions and economize space. Our SABflex continuous flex cables, for example, are capable of up to 20 million cycles of X-Y flexing and alternative bending. Additional features include tight bending radii, compact diameters for easy routing, and resistance to oils, chemicals and temperature extremes.
In addition, our flexible cables also fend off common food industry threats like humidity, chemicals, bacteria buildup and high temperatures. And for medical systems and equipment, our SABmed Line cables are biocompatible, highly flexible, non-kinking, overmolded and are built to undergo frequent cleaning, disinfection and handling,
Here are just some of the highlights of what you’ll find at our Pack Expo and MD&M exhibits:
● SABflex continuous flex cables. SABflex continuous flex cables feature a 7.5 x O.D. bending radius, tough PUR and PVC jackets, and withstand harsh conditions to securely deliver power and signals in a wide range of automated equipment as well as medical devices that involve constant bending.
● SABcontrol cable. SABcontrol flexible control cables offer tight bending radii, small diameters, and leverage polyurethane and thermoplastic elastomer construction to resist weather, oils and chemicals.
● SABrobot torsion cables. These cables are specifically designed to withstand twisting in robotic arms and other rotary appendages. TPE and PUR jackets resist oils, abrasions and notching.
● VFD and Servo motor cables. SAB VFD cables reliably deliver power and signals to machines requiring precise speed regulation, such as conveyors, and SAB servo cables are well-suited for closed-loop, continuous flexing applications like robotics. Both families feature durable construction and ensure signal integrity.
● Industrial Ethernet cables. This cable line enables the real-time communications that make up the core of integrated, synchronized packaging, manufacturing and processing lines along with well-connected medical facilities. These robust cables stand up to mechanical stress, oil, dust and temperature fluctuations and also provide reliable shielding.
● Tray cables. SAB tray cables can be routed around tight bends and fit into confined spaces.
● Data and sensor cables. We offer data and sensor cables in 26 to 16 AWG sizes, and shielded versions or unshielded and paired with the overall shield.
● Bus cables. SAB’s expansive range of flexible bus cables covers USB, PROFIBUS, CANBus, DeviceNet, and more.
● Specialty and custom cables. SAB specialty cables can meet hard-to-satisfy requirements such as multiple functions via a hybrid design, harsh environments or industry-specific necessities.
We’ll See You at the Shows!
At Pack Expo International and MD&M Midwest, you’ll have the opportunity to meet with our technical experts. They’ll help you identify the ideal standard or custom cable for your application and recommend the best approach for integrating it into your system. Be sure to register for free for these shows and stop by our booth.
