Tested: CFROBOT8.060 Profinet bus cable withstands 6 million cycles

Why the product keeps its promises

UL verified: chainflex receives the highest recognition by a globally recognised testing organisation

We issue a 4-year guarantee on our cables with confidence, as we are able to make reliable predictions about their service life backed by over 30 years of experience in our 3,800m² test laboratory and 700 concurrently running experiments.

igus is now the first German company to have this promise validated for chainflex cables. In a complex certification process, the US "Underwriters Laboratories" institute confirmed the accuracy of the following text: "igus 4-year chainflex cable guarantee and service life calculator based two billion test cycles per year". This makes the Cologne-based company the first in Europe to have the veracity of an advertising statement confirmed by a testing institution. In future, every chainflex cable that leaves the factory anywhere in the world will be identified by the UL marketing label with its unique number (B129699), referring to igus.

A total of 1,044 of the more than 1,350 cables in the product range that are available from stock already have classic UL approval. This is a prerequisite for smooth system commissioning in the US. Exporting systems to America will therefore be a seamless process. The combination of UL approval and UL marketing label benefits export efforts twice over:
