Some environments are just too much for most wire and cable. These include the likes of the vacuum of space, extreme moisture and steam, extreme high & low temperatures, salt water, chemical and acid exposure, dessicating humidity, and others. Cicoil flat cable excels through use of exclusive materials and manufacturing processes.

Even though Cicoil flat cable offers so many performance advantages over common round cable, they have been more time consuming to use. Until now. EZ-Flexx is the new flat cable from Cicoil that is as easy use as round cable. We call it "The Flat Cable for a Round World." See what makes EZ-Flexx special.
