Standard flexible control and automation cable catalog items manufactured to minimize health and environmental risks

FAIRFIELD, NJ - SAB North America, a leading supplier of flexible high quality cable for robotics and automation, has announced that most of its standard catalog products are guaranteed not to contain the heavy metals and flame retardant materials recently banned by European Union directives RoHS 2002/95/EG and 76/769/EWG. 

These directives set legal guidelines for the limitation of harmful substances in electronic devices to help reduce health and environmental risks. The substances that are no longer permitted to be used are: Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Chromium VI, Polybrominated biphenyl PBB, Polybrominated diphenyl ether PBDE, Penta-brominated diphenyl ether, and Octa-bromiinated diphenyl ether.  SAB is already able to confirm the absence of these harmful substances in many of its existing products, guaranteeing that the described substances are not contained in the raw materials the company uses.

SAB's extensive product line includes Flexible Control Cables; Continuous Flex Cables; Torsion Cables; Flexible Specialty Cables; Data Cables; Servo Cables; European Standardized Cables; Silicone Cables; Bus Cables; Halogen-Free Cables; and ETFE, FEP, and PFA Cables.  Other sections feature such helpful information as guidelines for installation, color coding, flammability tests, European and American cable stranding, technical documentation, instructions for the safe application of cables, commonly used abbreviations, a cable finder guide, and competitive product line cross references.
