Buflex X’Prem Cable

Buflex X'Prem Design

Low Voltage – Control and Power Reeling Cables

Buflex X’Prem Applications

BUFLEX® X’PREM cables with polyurethane sheath are specially designed for reeling application, with high mechanical stresses and sever environmental conditions such as torsion, tension, torque and abrasion.
A strength member has been integrated to increase tensile load, acceleration and speed.
