    A new cable is produced at GS Präzisions in Switzerland . Deflection test is done for 4 seperate flatcables (deflection = X:30mm Y:5mm). Each cable is tested for 25.000 cycles

    A simple test is done to define the deflection-force for a flatcable (deflection = 30mm). Note that the numbers are approximate.
  • new cable =0.5 [N]
  • cable after 70.000 cycles =0.25 [N] Total force for all 100 cables = 50-25[N]

    The durabilty of a FLATCABLE is tested for 70.000 cycles. No cracks or other damage is observed.
