The flat cable guidance system e-skin flat consists of individual cable chambers that can be joined together. One or more cables can be put into these chambers.

There are 3 variants: 

  • Closed variants
    • SKF12C [Inner height = 12mm]
    • SKF15C [Inner height = 15mm]
  • Openable variants (Chambers can be opened and closed with a zipper)

The cables can be fitted according to your requirements. Please note that only cables with the same diameter can be placed in a chamber.

After being filled, the e-skin flat can easily be closed by hand or with the MT.SK.914.868 tool.

If several chambers are needed, additional sections can simply be added.

The tapered section at the end is clamped in place due to the mounting brackets being screwed on and there is therefore no strain on the cables.
