About WMFP-48-BK Flexible Power Feed
What is WMFP-48-BK Flexible Power Feed?
The WMFP-48-BK Flexible Power Feed is a high-grade, low-profile conduit engineered to transport electrical power safely across complex lighting installations. Constructed from a blend of flexible polymer and reinforced steel strands, the feed resists abrasion while maintaining a tight bend radius, allowing it to snake around trusses, rigging, and structural elements without compromising conductivity. It conforms to industry safety standards for fire resistance and voltage rating, making it a trusted component for professional stage and event electricians. The feed's outer sheath incorporates a low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) compound, which limits toxic emissions if a fire occurs. Its color-coded black jacket provides visual consistency across a rig, simplifying troubleshooting during live events. Installation requires only standard cable ties, and the feed can be cut to length on site without compromising its integrity.

Who is WMFP-48-BK Flexible Power Feed for?
Stage electricians, touring riggers, and production designers who need a reliable power pathway in tight, dynamic environments will find the WMFP-48-BK Flexible Power Feed indispensable. Its lightweight yet robust build suits traveling shows, pop-up venues, and permanent installations where cable management and quick re-configuration are critical. The product also appeals to audiovisual integrators installing temporary lighting arrays in convention centers or outdoor festivals, where rapid deployment and compliance with safety codes are non-negotiable. Because the conduit is rated for outdoor use, it also performs well in temporary festival tents where exposure to moisture and temperature swings is common. Its modular nature allows multiple sections to be linked for longer runs without sacrificing flexibility.
How does WMFP-48-BK Flexible Power Feed compare?
Compared with rigid metal conduit, the WMFP-48-BK offers superior bendability and lower weight, cutting installation time. Against basic PVC raceways it provides fire-rated safety and higher current capacity, though at a higher cost. For projects demanding extra shielding, armored cable remains the alternative. When paired with standard power distribution boxes, the feed integrates seamlessly, reducing the need for additional conduit adapters. Its durability also translates to lower replacement cycles, offering long-term cost savings for venues with high usage rates.
Best use cases
- →Stage lighting rigs for touring concerts.
- →Temporary festival lighting installations.
- →Convention center audiovisual setups.
- →Outdoor event power distribution.
Is Flexible Power Feed right for you?
Buy the WMFP-48-BK Flexible Power Feed if you are a professional electrician or production designer needing a reliable, bendable conduit for live-event power runs. It suits users comfortable with standard cable-tie installations and who value fire-rated safety. For permanent installations where cost is the primary driver, consider basic PVC raceways. If you require colored coding or extra shielding, armored cable may be preferable. This feed strikes a balance between flexibility, durability, and compliance, making it a solid choice for touring and temporary venues.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum current rating of the WMFP-48-BK Flexible Power Feed?
▾
The WMFP-48-BK is rated for a continuous current of up to 20 amps, which aligns with typical stage lighting power requirements. This rating assumes proper installation with compatible connectors and adherence to ambient temperature limits specified by the manufacturer. Exceeding the rating could lead to overheating and reduced lifespan.
Does the WMFP-48-BK meet fire safety standards?
▾
Yes, the feed complies with IEC 60332-1 fire-propagation standards and is constructed from low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) materials. This means it limits flame spread and toxic fumes if exposed to fire, making it suitable for indoor venues with strict safety codes. Certification documentation is provided by the manufacturer.
How easy is it to install the WMFP-48-BK Flexible Power Feed?
▾
Installation is straightforward: the feed can be cut to length with standard wire cutters, and secured using common cable ties or clamps. No special tools are required, and the flexible jacket allows it to wrap around trusses and rigging without additional fittings. Proper stripping of the outer sheath is recommended before connector attachment.
Is the WMFP-48-BK suitable for outdoor use?
▾
The feed’s outer jacket is UV-resistant and weather-sealed, allowing it to function in outdoor festival tents and temporary structures. While it can handle moisture and temperature fluctuations, it should be protected from direct water jets and extreme cold. For permanent outdoor installations, additional conduit or protective sleeves may be advisable.
Can the WMFP-48-BK be linked for longer runs?
▾
Yes, multiple sections of the WMFP-48-BK can be joined using compatible connectors to create longer power runs. The modular design maintains the same bend radius and fire-rating across the assembled length. Ensure each joint is securely tightened to preserve electrical continuity and compliance with safety standards.
