Cable flex life
The flex life of the cables is shown below. This graph shows calculated values and not guaranteed values. The cable flex life
factors in conductor and insulation breakage. The values are calculated from fully disconnected cables and do not take into
account wear from electrical characteristics, sheath abrasion, or insulation deterioration. Allow for a deviation in these values.
