Temp-Flex® Multicore Cable Supply
A solution that combines various cable options into a single product

Molex Korea (CEO Jaehoon Lee) announced that it is supplying Temp-Flex® multicore cables, a multi-conductor hybrid product that can be custom-manufactured according to customer requests.

This cable fuses the core technologies of Temp-Flex and Molex, combining various existing products such as fine wire, coaxial, copper, stranded wire, and tubing into a single high-flex cable solution. Featuring a multi-functional design with a high-performance structure, the Temp-Flex multicore cable meets the essential data, signal, and power requirements needed in harsh or severe environments.

Kris Lower, Product Manager at Molex, noted, “Incorporating various functions such as power, data, audio/visual, and coaxial cables into a single application is constrained by spatial or environmental limitations during design,” and added, “The process of miniaturizing multi-functional cables for various functions is very tricky, which can result in complex and massive cables.”

Molex’s Temp-Flex multicore cables are designed to integrate various components and conductors into a single cable, offering not only excellent space and weight savings but also simple termination. In addition, small gauge and special high-performance wires and cables were used in this cable.

Temp-Flex multicore cables are suitable for commercial applications such as audio/video, entertainment, in-flight entertainment, and various industrial devices, while for medical applications, they can be applied to diagnostic devices, imaging equipment, and surgical instruments. This product is also ideal for aerospace and defense applications, such as control centers, instruments, military vehicles, missiles, radar, satellites, and vision systems.

The sheathing of Temp-Flex multicore cables uses ETFE, FEP, PFA, THV, PVDF, polyurethane, and other materials. The operating temperature varies depending on the sheathing material; FEP withstands temperatures from -65 to +300°C, while polyurethane withstands temperatures from -30 to +75°C. Sheathing made by combining new materials has an operating temperature of up to 300°C.
