[QUOTE="Tirefryr, post: 1146157, member: 550281"] This is hilarious. You don't pay more money and get more flexible cable. The reason some cable is stiff and some is not is because there is a multitude of wire types. There are different types of stranding and twisting, materials, plating, and insulation. The wire some are finding at HD, Lowes, Menards, etc, is not flexible because it is a different type of wire. [IMG]http://img381.imageshack.us/img381/3100/engineparts0216st.jpg[/IMG] How's that? [IMG]http://img381.imageshack.us/img381/6960/engineparts0854dt.jpg[/IMG] That's 3 conductor 500MCM next to a 2" IMC coupling. That coupling is roughly 2.5" in diameter. Surprisingly, the stuff is extremely flexible because it is a DLO(Diesel Locomotive) cable. Now if it were of the THHN variety, it would be next to impossible to move. [/QUOTE]
