What is a spiral stretch cord?

A spiral expandable cord is a cable that stands out from other cables by its spring shape. This specific feature allows the cord to retract and extend when necessary. The spiral shape of the cord avoids clutter and the risk of tangling as well as the risk of knotting. These advantages favor spiral stretch cords more over straight-shaped cables.

This type of device is used in many sectors, including telephony, audiovisual and in particular the automobile industry. Spiral stretch cords are primarily used to provide high mobility. This is the reason why these accessories regularly refer to telephone devices. Note also that these spiral cables are able to replace reel systems or cable chains. They can work in extensions, flexions and twists.

What materials are used to coat spiral stretch cords?

Spiral stretch cords are coated with the following materials:

•          Polyurethane, this material offers optimal resistance to abrasion . This material thus reduces the risk of wear following retraction and violent friction against itself
•          PVC and polyvinyl chloride offer great insulation capacity. This way is used when cables need protection against high and low temperatures.

What are the characteristics of spiral stretch cords?

Models of spiral stretch cords vary according to several criteria:

•          The material
•          The winding
•         Stroke length
•         The ISO standard
•         Color

To better choose the right spiral expandable cord, you must inspect the insulation and sheathing materials and the assemblies of the cores and strand.
