4-year Guarantee on reliable performance: new chainflex cables for stage technology

MAKATI CITY, Philippines - Nov. 20, 2025 - PRLog -- Cables in theatre and stage technology have to work hard. Stage environments are often tight and complex, requiring cables that can withstand extreme bend radii and constant movement over long periods. A single technical failure can bring an entire performance to an abrupt halt. To address these challenges, igus has introduced a new, unobtrusive series of its highly flexible chainflex® cables, designed specifically for the demanding requirements of stage and theatre applications. Visitors can experience this innovation at SPS Nuremberg (Hall 4, Stand 310).

For over 30 years, igus has specialized in developing highly flexible cables for energy chains across industries—from cleanrooms and automotive production to crane systems and train-washing facilities. These cables are engineered for durability and tailored to meet unique operational needs. Now, igus is entering the world of stage technology with a solution that combines mechanical resilience and aesthetic discretion.

"In stage and theatre technology, cables must move precisely and reliably under challenging spatial conditions. Visual compatibility is equally critical," explains Katharina Wielpütz, Business Development Manager for chainflex® Cables at igus. "Our new series delivers both performance and a sleek black design that blends seamlessly into professional stage setups."

The new chainflex® CFSPECIAL.381 series includes CAT6, CAT7, and DMX bus cables—fail-safe in motion, cost-effective, and visually unobtrusive. This addition expands igus' portfolio to over 1,350 cable types, supported by rigorous testing in its 5,500 m² laboratory, where over two billion test cycles are conducted annually. Thanks to these tests, igus offers an industry-leading 4-year guarantee on all cables.

Beyond cables, igus provides complete system solutions for stage technology, including the e-spool theatre spring cable drum, zig-zag energy chain systems, and ready-to-connect assemblies like readycable® and readychain®. This comprehensive offering ensures reliability and flexibility for theatres worldwide.

The launch of this new cable series marks the beginning of igus' expansion into specialized markets. At SPS, igus will also showcase innovations for other sectors, such as single cores for cranes and PVC cables for wood and food processing industries.
