High-Flex Ethernet & Power Hybrid Cable | Industrial Cable Manufacturer
The HF-EP2000 series is a high-flex ethernet & power hybrid cable designed for continuous motion systems, robotic arms, and drag chain applications. Its dual-core hybrid structure supports simultaneous Ethernet data and power transmission through repeated bending, while the durable PUR/TPE jacket helps resist oil, abrasion, and mechanical wear. This cable is suitable for network communication, power delivery, and automation control in demanding industrial environments.
Key Benefits:
✅ High flexibility for 10 million+ bending cycles in continuous motion
✅ 2-in-1 design combining Ethernet data and power in a single cable
✅ Durable jacket with oil, abrasion, and chemical resistance
✅ UL/CE certified for robotic arms, drag chains, and automation systems

Where This Cable Is Used
Our hybrid cable is deployed across industries where machinery moves continuously and reliability under stress is non-negotiable:
Robotics & Automated Arms
Multi-axis joints require cables that flex thousands of times per day without conductor fatigue. This high-flex ethernet and power hybrid cable maintains signal integrity through millions of articulation cycles.
Drag Chain & Cable Carrier Systems
In CNC machines and packaging lines, cables inside drag chains face constant reciprocating motion. Our combo cable’s flex-rated construction is specifically validated for this use case.
AGVs & Mobile Automation Platforms
Combined power and network wiring reduces cable count and weight — a key advantage for autonomous guided vehicles and mobile robotics.
Semiconductor & Cleanroom Equipment
Low-outgassing jacket options are available for cleanroom-compatible manufacturing environments.
Factory Automation & PLC Wiring
Where panel space is limited, this hybrid ethernet power cable consolidates two wiring runs into one, simplifying cable management in control cabinets.
Technical Construction
Core Design
The cable core pairs twisted Ethernet conductors with dedicated power cores under a unified shielding layer, wrapped in a high-flex outer jacket. This layered structure is what separates a true flex-rated hybrid cable from standard industrial ethernet cable or power cable products that aren’t built for repeated motion.
Material & Performance Details
- Jacket: PUR or TPE compound, resistant to oil, coolant, and surface abrasion common on factory floors
- Conductors: stranded copper, gauge selectable per current load requirements
- Data lines: Cat5e/Cat6-compliant twisted pairs for stable network throughput
- Shielding: dual-layer (braid + foil) to prevent crosstalk between power and data circuits
- Flex validation: cycle-tested in-house on reciprocating bend-test rigs before certification
Manufacturing Standards & Quality Assurance
Every production batch of our High-Flex Ethernet & Power Hybrid Cable is tested against UL and CE requirements before shipment. Our in-house lab performs:
- Bending-cycle life testing (validated to 10M+ cycles)
- EMI/RFI shielding performance checks
- Environmental resistance testing (temperature, oil, chemical exposure)
- Continuity and insulation resistance testing on 100% of production runs
Third-party test reports and material certificates (RoHS, REACH) are available on request for procurement and compliance documentation.
