Ask our Engineer
There are many different types of Continuous
Flex Cables to choose from in Section B of your product catalog. We
have several high flex applications of various lengths and
speeds and each one has a different bending radius.
Question: Is there a quick reference
chart of some kind to help me determine which cable would
best fit each application?
Answer: SAB North America has developed
a cable
selector guide to help make selecting the proper
Continuous Flex Cables for your application easier. There
are many different variables, such as the length of the track,
the speed at which it travels, the bending radius and the
temperature range which are used to help determine which
cable would best fit each application. Simply identify
your cable requirements and the cable
selection guide will
help determine which SAB product would best meet your cable
demands.
To get a copy of this selector
guide, visit
our website. We
think you will find that this tool will help you choose the
right cables for your application.

SAB Tray Rated – ER
Cable Pays Dividends For You And Your Customers
Tray Cables have evolved quite a bit over the last several years. At
one time, Tray Cables were largely used in a Cable Tray System
with no movement after the initial installation. It was also
suitable for use as a Direct Burial cable with UV and Sunlight
resistant listings. This versatile cable continues to evolve and
SAB North America is giving the industry more reason to sit up
and take notice.
Everyone in the electrical industry has seen unprecedented costs
escalation in all facets of our every day business. From
copper escalation in wire products to the skyrocketing costs of
steel associated with conduit products, it’s left us scratching
our heads in wonderment. Are there alternatives? Yes! SAB
North America offers a solution for your consideration. (Read

SAB Sales Manager & HWC Salesman Reconnect
After 20 Years
 Mark
Gilliford, SAB North America’s National Sales Manager, was
recently on a business trip to the west coast to visit the Houston
Wire & Cable branch in Los Angeles. During his visit
he discovered a business associate he had lost touch with twenty
years earlier.
The last time the two had seen each other was in 1985 when Gilliford,
while serving as the Distributor Sales Manager for Phoenix Contact,
hosted a trip to the company headquarters in Blomberg, Germany. One
of the invited guests had been Colin Mellin, Inside Salesman/Product
Specialist for Omega Supply in Concord, California.
Colin, seated in the front row at the far right, was sitting right
next to Gilliford. Twenty years later both gentlemen commented
on how little each had changed.
Success
Story: SAB Saves the Day With Standard Products
A cement manufacturer was installing a new processing
line which required the use of hundreds of feet of
cable. They evaluated the application and determined
that it might be difficult to find a standard off
the shelf cable capable of withstanding their harsh,
dirty environment and still be able to meet all of
their other unusual cable requirements. The
cable had to meet each of the following requirements:
- Continuous flex rated (Class 6 stranding) for
cable track
- UV Resistant - outdoor application in direct
sunlight
- Temperature rating of up to 130º F
- Tray
cable rated since it passed into a building
and would be mounted in a cable tray
SAB was able to provide an off the shelf product
solution with our TR600 Auto (Catalog page D10). This
cable was perfectly designed to meet all of the application’s
stringent requirements.
Our distributor called our local rep and after a
few visits to the customer to determine the correct
gauge size, conductor count, bending radius, etc… the
customer placed an order with our distributor for
over $40,000 worth of SAB cables.
For even the toughest cable requirements, SAB can
provide the solution – faster than you think!
