Belden Infinity
®
Cables
These highly flexible control,
power, video and data cables
handle the rigorous speeds and
near-constant motion of C-track
systems, robots, pick-and-place
machines, automatic handling
systems, multi-axis machine
tools, conveyor systems and
wind turbines.
Belden Infinity ‘Continuous-
flexing’ Cables Are Built
Rugged For High Performance
In Any Type of Environment and
Include Enhanced Approvals
With Belden, you can be confident that the cables
you need will be delivered to you when and where
you need them, they will be of consistent high
quality, and our service and support will satisfy
any and all of your requirements.
The Belden Infinity line is indicative of this
promise, consisting of four high performance
cable families built specifically for the rigors of
mission-critical, continuous flexing applications.
The Belden Infinity C-TC+, FCC, Flex Data and Flex
Vision cables help ensure maximum uptime, even
when they must operate in the harshest or most
extreme environments.
To maximize the cables’ flex life and reliability,
Belden combines specialized manufacturing
techniques with precision copper stranding and
rugged insulation and jacketing compounds.
Belden Infinity C-TC+ Cables
for Extreme Flexing
To ensure optimal performance at 10 million flex
cycles, Belden utilizes a unique cable manufacturing
process for its Belden Infinity C-TC+ cables that
nearly eradicates cable memory. The cable’s special
construction also eliminates the performance
concerns associated with conductor torque
and fatigue.
With this rugged, high performance construction,
and the inclusion of oil-, sunlight- and abrasion-
resistant Belflex® jackets, C-TC+ cables meet
the NFPA requirements for industrial machinery.
They are ideal for extreme flexing applications such
as C-track systems, wind turbines, robots, multi-axis
machining, automated assembly systems, material
handling systems, pick-and-place retrieval, automat-
ed storage systems and gantry systems
.
Belden Infinity FCC Cables
For Moderate Flexing
Belden Infinity FCC cables feature oil-, sunlight-
and abrasion-resistant Belflex jackets to meet the
NFPA requirements for industrial machinery. They
are appropriate for C-track and moderate flexing
environments of over 1 million flex cycles, making
them a cost-effective alternative to C-TC+ cables
in applications such as machine tool, assembly lines
and control systems.
Belden Infinity Flex Data Cables
For the effective operation of computer-controlled
equipment or other automation production pro-
cesses, specify Belden Infinity Flex Data cables.
Belden 300V Flex Data twisted pair cables can
withstand 1 million flex cycles with 24 AWG
highly stranded bare copper conductors (41x40)
for exceptional flexibility, overall Beldfoil® + 85%
tinned copper braid shield, foam polyethylene
insulation (with skin) and PVC jacket. The cables
are rated RS-232/485 or RS-232/422 (part no.
7205A) and they have a temperature rating of
-20° to +60°C.

Belden Infinity Flex Vision Cables
Belden Infinity Flex Vision cables are designed
for use in machine vision applications such as
inspection and measurement devices, automated
warehouse equipment, automated production
processes and motion controlled video.
Belden 75 Ohm Flex Vision coaxial cables can
withstand 1 million flex cycles and are rated UL
AWM Style 1354. They have stranded conductors
for greater flexibility, foam polyethylene insulation,
tinned copper “French Braid” shield for 95% shield
coverage, and a PVC jacket.

C-TC+ and FCC Control Cables: Easy Flexing, Longer Flex Life
Unlike conventional cables and cordage, Belden Infinity C-TC+ and FCC cables offer
the following benefits to the end-user:
1. Reduced Cable Memory:
Belden cables are produced in a neutralized
or relaxed state and they remain in this state
throughout their use so they exhibit greater
flex life.
2. Absence of Fatigue:
T
he absence of central core conductors
means easy flexing. Central core conductors
are susceptible to fatigue and failure due to
the intense forces placed on them.
3. No Torque:
Each layer of insulated conductors is cabled
in an opposite direction from the preceding
layer to eliminate torque. The inherent twist
induced in other cable brands causes the
internal conductors to torque and the cable
to corkscrew.
4. No Talc:
An OSHA-compliant, inert slipper compound
reduces friction and facilitates flexing. Cables
that contain airborne contaminants such as talc
can be toxic, irritating, and may contaminate
systems, components or machinery.
