SOOW Flexible Power Cables Capabilities and Industrial Applications
SOOW flexible power cable is a heavy-duty electrical transmission product designed for harsh industrial and outdoor conditions. Its construction is intended to maintain performance under frequent movement, vibration, oil exposure and weather. The cable is used in industrial equipment, heavy-duty tools and mobile power systems where durable power connections are required.
The cable is built for extra-heavy-duty use. Its conductor uses Class K bare copper stranding to ASTM B-174, a construction intended to support conductivity and mechanical life in environments with repeated movement and vibration.
Insulation is made from EPDM rubber, which provides heat, moisture and oil resistance. Wax paper fillers and a tissue paper separator are used to improve structural integrity and simplify jacket stripping.

Under Article 400 of the National Electrical Code and related provisions, SOOW cable is permitted in a range of severe environments. Its principal applications include:
- Power connections for industrial automation equipment and heavy production tools.
- Battery charger systems and mobile lighting equipment.
- Temporary outdoor power extension and power deployment in adverse weather.
Its weather resistance allows the cable to maintain stable electrical performance in direct sunlight, damp conditions and oily environments. These characteristics support its use in outdoor engineering operations.
To protect products during long-distance sea transport, exported cables are packaged on reinforced wooden or steel-wood cable reels. Each reel is labeled with product details, manufacturing specifications and customer identification. During loading, reels are secured with straps inside 20-foot or 40-foot containers to reduce the risk of movement in transit.
