5 Core Cable

[doubleboost]

I am looking for some decent quality (rubber or silicone) , cable to re wire a TIG foot pedal
It only needs to be light gauge but as flexible as possible
It also needs 5 cores

Let me check my catalogues when I get back in the office tomorrow, I'm sure I can find something suitable John. Needs to fit in an r-tech plug?

Yes R tech plug
I have had the pedal 3 years now
I keep wrapping the cable around the pedal that is what has damaged it (Just ordinary cable as well)

I needed some rubber 5 core to extend the hand control of my small hoist and got it from eBay.
What about 7 core trailer cable and just leave 2 cores unused ?

might be a bit thick
what sort of diameter are we talking on cable entry?

The stuff that is on there is 7.5 mm

I think it will be to thick to go in to the plug

How much do you need, I have some 4 core for sure but I'm not sure about 5 core, I can check tomorrow if you like? If I have some it's yours for the price of a stamp?

What sort of core size would you need?

5 core just thin stuff .75 mm I would think

I'll take a look tomorrow, will let you know if I have owt suitable.

I was under the impression you needed a shielded cable (I think it's called CY?) to prevent interference from the HF?

Not sure the TIG at work was not shielded
The wire on mine is just plain 5 core

 

[hotrodder]

H07RN-F is what you want i think, pretty sure it's (or the Septic equivilant) what supplied with SSC pedals. If it isn't whatever they use is not shielded, just a couple of smoothing/decoupling caps fitted at the pedal end

It's tough and stays flexible without any 'memory' down to stupidly low temps

 

[sparkysy]

I also have something suitable if daleyd hasn't! It is 6core 0.75mm! It's reasonably flexible and stranded cores If it's any use!

Trailer cable comes in different sizes

I might be able to rustle up some 5-core 0.75 depending on what roll ends are lying around
What sort of length?

The stuff you gave me for my pedal is really good.
I can look at it and tell you what it is if that's any help.

3 / 4 metres would be ideal

5 x 0.75mm2 will be too big to go into the plug.

The pedal is originally supplied with 5 x 0.5mm2 which is the correct size for the plug.

I recommend enclosing the first metre or so of the cable starting from the pedal in silicon heat resistant sleeving (catering spares places have it cheap). This protects it against hot objects and makes it a little more abrasion resistant.

 

[daleyd]

Hi John as I suspected the stuff I have is 4 core not 5 (I was pretty sure but had to make certain, I have this and a roll of cy 1.0mm stuff but both only 4 core).

Thanks for looking
