# Ultra-Flexible Wire & Cable — image and engineering notes

These are third-party context photographs, not photographs of Super Smile products, factory operations or test results. The Wikimedia thumbnails are displayed proportionally within the page layout; photography is not evidence of a stated cable rating. Original source and license details are below.

## Technical source boundary

- [LAPP — mechanical properties of cable-chain cables](https://www.lapp.com/en_US/us/products/properties-technologies/mechanical-properties/cable-chains/e/000371): fine-wire conductors, short core lay and moving bend versus three-dimensional torsion.
- [igus — cable bending radius](https://www.igus.com/cables/unharnessed-cables-bending-radius): minimum bending radius depends on the exact cable and installation.
- [igus — robotics cable](https://www.igus.com/product/CFROBOT2): example of a separate torsion-duty construction; its ratings are product-specific and are not claimed for Super Smile products.

No general cycle-life, test or certification claim is made. The actual cable data sheet, equipment route and customer acceptance plan determine suitability.
