High Flex & Automation Cables
One Cable. Power, Signal, and Data for Every Cobot Joint.
Gore Hybrid Round Cables consolidate multiple cable functions into a single, lightweight round assembly that survives the continuous torsion and flex demands of collaborative robots and automated guided vehicles. Fewer cables mean simpler cable management, lower system weight, and faster integration.
Multi-function hybrid cables combining power, signal, and data in a single lightweight assembly for collaborative robots and automated guided vehicles.
Why Choose Gore Hybrid Round Cables?
Simplified Cable Harness
Replacing multiple dedicated cables with a single hybrid assembly reduces harness complexity, cuts assembly time, and eliminates routing errors. This is especially valuable in collaborative robot deployments where compact arm design is critical.
Lightweight Construction
Gore's ePTFE insulation and fine-strand conductors minimize cable weight without sacrificing current-carrying capacity or signal quality. Lighter moving cables directly improve robot cycle times and reduce motor torque requirements.
Torsion and Flex Durability
Engineered for the combined bending and torsional stresses present at cobot joints and AGV pivot points, these cables maintain full electrical performance over millions of movement cycles without jacket cracking or conductor fatigue.

Frequently Asked Questions
What combinations of power, signal, and data conductors are available?
Gore offers multiple hybrid configurations to match common cobot and AGV power and communication protocols. Contact RSTECH Electronics to identify the best match for your robot platform.
How does a hybrid cable compare to running separate power and data cables?
A single hybrid cable reduces total cable count, simplifies cable chain selection, lowers system weight, and eliminates the risk of mixed-up connections during maintenance — all while meeting the same flex life requirements.
Are these cables suitable for drag chain and cable carrier applications?
Yes. Gore Hybrid Round Cables are engineered for both continuous flex (drag chain) and torsional (rotary joint) applications, covering the full range of cobot and AGV motion profiles.
Can RSTECH Electronics help with cable assembly and custom lengths?
RSTECH Electronics can connect you with Gore's technical team to specify the correct assembly length and termination. Contact us to discuss your project requirements.
