Rayfast Ltd are pleased to announce our new exclusive distribution partnership with Cicoil cables in the UK and Ireland.

Cicoil is the market leader in high performance flexible flat cable technology with 60+ years of experience offering extremely flexible flat cables & assemblies, utilising their patented extrusion process and propriety jacketing materials.

Cicoil’s cables have been in use in the Space industry since the creation of NASA back in 1958 and helped them put a man on the moon in 1969. Since then, also on the Space Shuttle & the International Space Station and numerous satellites & probes, more recently the Mars Rover and various SpaceX programs.

Design exactly the unique cable needed, in the smallest possible package. Save space and reduce costFlexx-Sil™ flexible cable jacket and our finely stranded ultra-flex wire conductors combine to make Cicoil flat cables the most flexible on the market. Tested for tens of millions of cycles, Custom Cicoil flexible flat cables from Rayfast deliver reliable performance and long life.

For applications involving repetitive motion, shock and vibration, harsh environments, and temperature extremes.
