What Is Flexible Wire?
Many also refer to flexible wire as bend-resistant wire, but there are several similar terms that highlight its unique characteristics. For example:
-
Flex-resistant wire: Emphasizes the wire's ability to withstand repeated bending.
-
Bend-proof wire: Refers to the wire with properties that prevent bending damage.
-
Bending durable wire: Describes wire that remains durable even after repeated bending.
-
Anti-bend wire: Directly expresses the wire’s resistance to bending.
-
Kink-resistant wire: Refers to wire that prevents kinking or twisting when bent.
-
Fatigue-resistant wire: Highlights the wire’s resilience to fatigue and bending over long-term use.
-
Durable wire: Although not solely about bending, emphasizes the wire's overall durability.
However, such a broad definition may seem insufficiently specific. MAEDEN further defines it as:
"a balance between flexibility and reliability tailored to meet the specific demands of dynamic applications."
Flexible wire, also known as dynamic wire (as opposed to static wire), is designed to bend and twist without losing electrical conductivity. Unlike single solid conductors, flexible wires typically consist of multiple fine strands.
Some advanced designs incorporate tinsel wires, where copper foil is rolled into thin strips and wrapped around aramid fibers, significantly enhancing flexibility and performance in dynamic applications. From MAEDEN's perspective, a wire can only be considered a Flexible Wire if it passes the dynamic requirements of the customer's specific scenario.
Advantages Over Solid Wire
Flexible Wire offers several advantages over Solid wire. Here’s a quick comparison:
Versatile Applications Across Industries
Because of their adaptability and versatility, flexible wires are used in various industries. Here are some examples:
In-Ear monitor
Wire breakage or poor audio performance are common problems with in-ear monitors. This mainly happens due to the traditional wire. However, flexible wire provides durability and reliability. It ensures consistent audio performance and extends the lifespan of the equipment.
