Retractile Coiled Cords
Imagine an application—we probably have an in-stock coiled cord waiting for it. If we don't, we will work with you to create, prototype and manufacture a product that meets your requirements in record time.
​
In-stock or custom, design engineers specify coiled cords for almost any application and industry, including computers, bar code readers, medical equipment, material handling equipment, production line tools, commercial vehicles, instrumentation and testing devices.
Features
Manufactured in a wide range of thermoset and thermoplastic materials, color is available in thermoplastics. Engineered to meet a variety of needs, including power supply, communication, test leads and control cables. Rated for outdoor use and water resistant. Customized for special termination, cord assemblies and moldings; special retractable lengths and tangents; and other features.
