Low-smoke halogen-free flat cable for film and stage lighting 13*4+2*(2*0.5)P+CAT5E

The low-smoke zero-halogen flat cable for film and stage lighting, model 13*4+2*(2*0.5)P+CAT5E, is a high-performance flat cable specially designed by Shanghai Oukesen Wire & Cable Co., Ltd. for film, stage and high-end lighting equipment. It integrates power transmission and data communication into one, making it especially suitable for the complex and diverse needs of modern stage lighting. This article will deeply introduce the advantages and applications of this cable from five aspects: material, manufacturing process, applicable scope, precautions and installation, helping industry users better understand and choose the products that suit them.

I. Material Advantages of Crane Flat Cables

In practical applications, film and stage lighting cables often undergo tests of frequent bending, stretching and external mechanical friction. Low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) material is adopted, which does not release toxic and harmful halogen gases when burning, ensuring indoor air quality and personnel safety. The internal conductor of the cable is made of high-purity oxygen-free copper, with excellent electrical conductivity and oxidation resistance, ensuring stable signal transmission. The flat structure design gives the cable better flexibility and tensile resistance, reduces space occupation, and meets the compact layout requirements of stage equipment. The main power core with 13 cores and 4 square millimeters can supply power for high-power lighting equipment; the additional 2 sets of 2*0.5 square millimeters control cores can support low-power signal transmission; and the built-in CAT5E network cable is specially designed for high-speed data transmission of digital lighting control systems, taking into account both power and data functions.

II. Manufacturing Process and Technical Features

This flat cable from Shanghai Oukesen adopts advanced extrusion and molding processes, ensuring uniform coating of conductors and consistent insulation thickness, so as to guarantee electrical performance and product lifespan. The multi-layer structure design prevents mutual interference between inner cores, reducing signal crosstalk. The low-smoke zero-halogen outer sheath has passed strict tests, with good wear resistance, corrosion resistance and low-temperature resistance, and can adapt to complex stage environments. In addition, the overall flat design effectively ensures that the cable is not easy to knot during movement and winding, prolonging its service life.

III. Wide Applicable Scope

This flat cable is specially customized for film and stage lighting systems, suitable for various types of stage devices, film and television recording venues and large-scale performance sites. It can handle both lighting cable transmission on mechanical lifting equipment and data connection of digital lighting control systems. In addition, this cable is also applicable to exhibitions, concert venues and other lighting occasions with dynamic load changes. The low-smoke zero-halogen feature is especially suitable for indoor environments with limited ventilation conditions, ensuring safety.

IV. Precautions for Use

• Avoid exceeding the minimum bending radius to maintain the cable's flexibility and prevent internal structure damage.

• During installation, avoid sharp objects scratching the cable to prevent outer sheath damage that may cause insulation failure.

• Regularly check the cable appearance and connector parts to ensure no overheating or oxidation signs.

• If stage mobile equipment needs frequent shaking, it is recommended to use a cable support system to extend the cable's service life.

• For the data transmission part, prevent strong magnetic fields and electromagnetic interference to ensure accurate signals.

V. Installation Suggestions

During installation, reasonable wiring planning should be carried out in combination with the characteristics of the stage structure. The advantage of flat cables is that they are easy to be pressed into narrow spaces. It is necessary to keep the laying flat and avoid folds. Standard-compliant fixing clamps should be used to prevent stretching damage caused by excessive hanging weight. Considering the changes in the performance site environment, it is recommended to reserve sufficient length for quick replacement and adjustment. Standard wiring should be carried out at network interfaces and control ports to ensure stable data transmission.

Summary and Product Recommendation

The low-smoke zero-halogen flat cable for film and stage lighting, model 13*4+2*(2*0.5)P+CAT5E, has remarkable advantages of safety, environmental protection, durability, reliability and multiple functions, which can effectively meet the dual needs of power and data transmission in complex stage environments.
