Any extra-flexible electrical cable?

[Peter Jason]

I bought 10 meters of 4-core 15amp 'flexible'
cable to run 3-phase pumps, heaters etc.

Typically it's PVC and a low grade at that, and
now it goes stiff in cold weather, and it's
starting to fray & split at the connection box.

Is there any super-flexible cable, even if
expensive, that will stay that way even in cold
weather, and is abrasive-resistant too?

Price irrelevant.

No idea what country you're in or what standards would apply.
If your country uses harmonised cable standards, select a type
from the table at http://www.techref.info/web/ref/ref-h07.php
and then search for it on the web.

Common ones would be something like:
H05RNF, or H07... would be more substantial even if you don't
need the higher voltage rating.

If you're in the UK, here's an example product:
