Drag Chain Cable, also known as flexible or moving cable, is named based on its application environment, distinguishing it from commonly named cables such as control cables, data cables, and servo cables in engineering applications.
The term “drag chain” refers to a chain that can protect cables and allow them to move back and forth by placing them inside the chain. It is a highly flexible cable that can withstand repeated bending and movement without wearing out easily. It is also referred to as trailing cable, towline cable, or tank chain cable.
