The PVC-FLACH-CY 5X4X0.5mm² shielded flat control cable has a minimum dynamic bending radius of 72–108 millimeters when calculated across standard industrial practice. This specification is expressed as a ratio to the cable's physical thickness, which in this case is 7.2 millimeters. The 72–108mm range corresponds to 10–15 times the cable thickness (10× T to 15× T, where T represents thickness). However, for equipment that will experience millions of flexure cycles over its operational lifetime—such as festoon systems on overhead cranes or umbilical lines on material handling equipment—Feichun's engineering team recommends 110 millimeters as the practical standard, which equals approximately 15.3× the cable thickness. This conservative specification provides a meaningful safety margin that protects against the cumulative effects of repeated flexing, preventing both immediate mechanical failure and the gradual degradation of the copper shield wires that could compromise electromagnetic compatibility performance.

The nominal width of a (N)TSFLCGEWÖU 4x120 0.6/1kV shielded flat trailing cable is approximately 91 mm (3.58 inches), with a tolerance window of ±3.5 mm producing a permissible range of 87.5–94.5 mm. The nominal thickness is approximately 27.5 mm (1.08 inches), with a tolerance window of ±1.5 mm producing a permissible range of 26.0–29.0 mm. The approximate total weight of this cable is 8,200 kg/km (5,500 lbs/1000 ft), with copper weight approximately 5,250 kg/km. It features four 120 mm² main power conductors rated for 321 amperes continuous operation at 30°C ambient, supplemented by individual copper braid shielding on each conductor for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) with variable-frequency drives and other sensitive equipment. The distinction between width and thickness for flat cables differs fundamentally from round cable specifications because flat cables do not have a single outer diameter. Instead, engineers must manage two dimensions simultaneously, and these dimensions directly determine whether the cable will fit into festoon track systems, contact shoe assemblies, and guidance rail configurations commonly deployed in overhead crane systems and automated material handling equipment.
