Train-radio coiled cord with connectorized ends

The product image shows the formed coil, a circular connector, a molded cable exit, and a multiconductor terminal. Coil route and tail lengths are visible.

Train-radio equipment that needs retractable cable reach

  • Train radio handsets and control units
  • Rail-transit communication equipment
  • Vehicle-mounted radio interfaces
  • Specified communication equipment requiring retractable cable reach

Coil dimensions and end configurations

  • Retracted and extended length control
  • Power, signal, data, and control conductor combinations
  • Connectorized ends
  • Overmolded strain relief when specified
  • Custom jacket color and finish

Jackets for repeated flexing and recovery

  • PU / TPU
  • PVC
  • TPE
  • Specified cable materials

Coil geometry

Start with relaxed length, reach

Relaxed length, working reach, coil diameter, cable diameter, and straight-tail lengths determine how the cord forms, extends, and returns.

Retracted lengthThe drawing or target operating envelope sets the relaxed coil length.
Extended working lengthCable type, coil diameter, and working reach decide how far the cord can be pulled in use.
Coil outer diameterCable OD and forming target set the visible coil diameter.
Conductor countElectrical load and connector interface set the conductor count and wire gauge.
Repeated‑flex expectationsWhen repeated flexing matters, include the motion profile and test method with the inquiry.

Forming the coil and finishing the ends

  1. 1Wire cutting
  2. 2Wire stripping
  3. 3Coil forming
  4. 4Connector assembly
  5. 5Electrical testing

Reach, recovery, wiring, connector fit

  • Measure relaxed coil length, working reach, coil OD, and straight-tail length against the drawing or sample target.
  • Check continuity, polarity, and connector fit after coil forming and end assembly.
  • Run flex, recovery, or repeated-motion checks when the method and limits are supplied.

Repeated flexing and recovery need a stated test

Mixed power, signal, and data requirements

Outdoor, oil, UV, or repeated flexing environments

Requested repeated-motion validation or material documentation

Qualified-supplier coordination

  • Horizontally injection-molded housings requiring horizontal molding machines
  • PCB assemblies / circuit boards
  • Specified plug, connector, or component sourcing
