KYFLCY Flat EMC Festoon PVC Cable for Crane and Control Systems
TEBAOFLEX KYFLCY is a screened PVC flat cable designed for festoon systems, hoists, transport equipment, machine tools, cranes and container handling equipment. The cable is suitable for applications with medium mechanical stress and repeated bending in one plane, especially where power, control or signal circuits require additional EMC protection.
Compared with unshielded flat festoon cables, KYFLCY includes an overall copper screen to help reduce electromagnetic interference. This makes it a practical choice for crane facilities, high rack transport vehicles, industrial moving equipment and control systems where stable signal transmission is important.

Typical Applications
KYFLCY flat EMC festoon cable is used in crane systems, hoists, container cranes, conveyor systems, high rack transport vehicles, machine tools, mobile control equipment and industrial signal transmission systems. It is suitable for installations where the cable moves repeatedly in a defined bending direction and where shielding is required to reduce electrical interference.
In industrial automation projects, choosing the right cable structure and shielding design can help improve signal stability and system reliability. TEBAOFLEX also shares more background in this guide on how control cable technology supports reliable industrial automation systems.
Selection Notes
Flat festoon cables are designed mainly for bending in one plane. For applications involving torsion, drum reeling, high tensile load, outdoor exposure or oil-heavy environments, the cable design should be reviewed according to travel distance, bending radius, speed, hanging length and installation method. TEBAOFLEX can support cable selection based on your equipment layout and operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is KYFLCY cable used for?
KYFLCY is used as a screened flat festoon cable for cranes, hoists, transport equipment, machine tools, conveyor systems and industrial control or signal circuits where repeated bending and EMC protection are required.
What is the difference between KYFLY and KYFLCY?
KYFLY is typically an unshielded PVC flat festoon cable. KYFLCY adds an overall copper screen, making it more suitable for applications where electromagnetic interference may affect control or signal transmission.
Can KYFLCY cable be used for drum reeling?
KYFLCY is mainly designed for festoon systems and bending in one plane. For drum reeling, torsion or high-speed applications, TEBAOFLEX recommends confirming the installation conditions before selecting the cable type.
