Zhong Hua Jiang 16AWG 5-conductor shielded drag chain cable is designed for moving cable carriers, CNC machines and industrial automation equipment. The cable combines five twisted tinned-stranded copper conductors, PVC insulation, a shielded construction and a flexible PVC jacket for machine wiring that requires repeated movement.
This 16/5 shielded chain cable has a listed 300V voltage rating, 80°C temperature rating and 9.8 ± 0.3mm outer diameter. It can be considered for compatible control, sensor, actuator and auxiliary-power circuits after the actual electrical load, cable-carrier movement and installation requirements are checked.

The cable uses five twisted 16AWG insulated conductors with conductor identification as detailed on the approved drawing. Tinned stranded copper offers practical solder termination and protection against surface oxidation, while the surrounding shield helps manage interference around drives, switching devices and controllers.
The cable construction includes PVC insulation and outer jacket, together with cotton rope and cotton paper as internal separation or filling materials. Before approving a machine harness, confirm the complete cable drawing, shield construction, cable length, connection requirements and the operating environment.
For CNC equipment manufacturers, automation integrators and electrical distributors, this 16AWG five-core shielded chain cable provides a practical cable option when the equipment wiring diagram calls for five conductors. Specify the required five-wire circuit, voltage and current, along with movement and shielding needs.
The shielding can help limit electromagnetic interference in electrical systems that operate near VFDs, motor drives, power supplies or control panels. Correct shield termination, conductor routing and enclosure bonding are important; the shielding should never substitute for a separately required protective-earth connection.
Contact Zhong Hua Jiang to discuss cable length, purchasing volume, core identification, packing arrangements, machine type and any project-specific construction requirements. Final cable selection should be based on the approved technical data for the intended installation.

The drag-chain construction is intended for repeated bending in moving cable carriers. Product literature mentions 15 million flex cycles, but the applicable test conditions need to be checked for the exact ordered cable and its installation.
Confirm cable-carrier compatibility before installation, including minimum dynamic bend radius, travel stroke, speed, acceleration, available chain space, strain relief and operating temperature.
A flexible conductor alone does not determine service life. The cable construction, carrier layout, bending stress and installation practices all affect reliability over time. Request the relevant flex-life test documentation when the machine specification sets a minimum cycle requirement.

Tinned copper facilitates soldering and helps reduce oxidation of exposed strands.
Long-term electrical and mechanical performance depends on conductor construction and operating conditions.
Select the cable using measured resistance, conductor size and the required termination method.
The cable shield helps manage electromagnetic interference that could otherwise affect sensitive control or signal circuits.
For CNC and automation wiring, follow the equipment manufacturer’s EMC instructions on shield termination, grounding and cable separation.
A shield is an interference-control component, not a protective-earth conductor. Provide the required protective bonding separately.
The product literature cites 15 million flex cycles. Actual operating life cannot be established from a headline cycle count alone; request the cable-specific test procedure, bend radius, travel stroke, speed, acceleration and environmental conditions.
Discuss Drag Chain Cable Requirements
Designed for shielded five-conductor connections in equipment that uses moving cable carriers.
Potential applications include CNC control wiring, automation systems, sensors, actuators and moving-machine auxiliary circuits, subject to electrical and mechanical compatibility.
The five insulated conductors can serve compatible control, sensor, low-voltage supply or return circuits in CNC routers, engraving equipment, robotic mechanisms and other automation machines. For VFD spindle motor power, evaluate the motor-output cable specification separately rather than assuming a five-core control cable is sufficient.
For machine wiring projects, provide the required core count, operating current, voltage, drag-chain bend radius, stroke length, travel speed, shielding termination, installation environment and expected order volume. Cable length, jacket and packaging options can then be discussed.
Choose the core count from the equipment wiring diagram, then verify operating current, voltage, required shield construction, dynamic bend radius, cable-carrier environment and termination hardware. This 16/5 cable supplies five insulated conductors, each with a stated 16AWG gauge; do not count the shield as another current-carrying conductor.
All three designations use nominal 16AWG conductors, but the core count differs. A 16/4 cable contains four insulated conductors, 16/5 contains five, and 16/6 contains six. Use the count required by the wiring diagram, and compare each specific product’s outer diameter, bending requirements and electrical limits before ordering.
| Cable designation | Core count | Typical selection criterion |
| 16AWG × 4 | 4 cores | Circuits that require four insulated 16AWG conductors |
| 16AWG × 5 | 5 cores | Circuits that require five insulated 16AWG conductors |
| 16AWG × 6 | 6 cores | Circuits that require six insulated 16AWG conductors |
This cable has a stated nominal outer jacket diameter of 9.8 ± 0.3mm. Confirm that the drag-chain channel, gland or connector, strain relief and dynamic minimum bend radius are compatible with the cable. Provide travel length, speed, acceleration and installation temperature when requesting technical guidance.
A cable shield helps control electromagnetic coupling when correctly connected; it is not a substitute for a required protective-earth conductor. For any VFD-to-spindle or other motor-output connection, verify the cable is specifically rated for the motor voltage, drive-output waveform, conductor arrangement and equipment EMC requirements. Do not assume this 300V shielded chain cable is a universal VFD motor-output cable.
