Instrumentation Cables—XLPE Insulated, Overall Screened, Wire Armoured PVC Sheathed Cables(CU/XLPE/OSCR/SWA/PVC)
Instrumentation Cables are multi-conductor cables that carry and transport low-voltage electrical signals. These low-voltage signals are used to control and monitor electrical power systems. Instrumentation cables have many different industrial applications that include broadcasting, equipment control, such as drilling and pumping in the oil and gas industry, and data transfer, which includes analog and digital signals. They are manufactured according to the BS EN 50288-7 and BS EN 50288-1 standards to ensure quality.
Instrumentation Cables—XLPE Insulated,Individual & Overall Screened, Wire Armoured PVC Sheathed Cables(CU/XLPE/IOSCR/SWA/PVC)
Instrumentation cables come in twisted pairs, triads, and quads, depending on the customer’s applications; twisting reduces any electromagnetic interference by reducing the chances of electrical voltages and currents being induced in the conductor. Individual and overall screening are also applied in instrumentation cables to optimize the signal transferred and further reduce any electromagnetic interference. Screening of pairs, triads, or quads also includes a drain wire earthed to the ground, which ensures a noise-free signal transmission. Depending on the application, instrumentation cables can be insulated with PVC or XLPE; the cables can be armoured or unarmoured. The sheathing materials can be of PVC, LSZH, or PE. The cables can have additional flame retardant or flame retardant properties, and they can be manufactured with special protections such as lead sheaths, or DRYLAM or AIRBAG technology.

FAQ From Customers
-
What is a control cable?
A control cable is an electrical cable designed for the transmission of control signals in automation systems and electrical control systems. It is commonly used to connect control devices such as motors, sensors, and controllers in industrial applications. Control cables are made from copper or aluminum conductors and typically feature insulation to prevent electrical interference and ensure safe operation in low voltage circuits. These cables are essential for controlling and monitoring the functioning of machinery and electrical equipment. -
What is the difference between electrical power cable and control cable?
The main difference between electrical power cables and control cables lies in their function and design. Electrical power cables are designed to carry large amounts of electricity for power transmission across long distances, typically at higher voltages. In contrast, control cables are used for signal transmission to control or monitor equipment, often carrying low-voltage signals for devices such as controllers and sensors. Power cables are designed for high current handling, while control cables focus on low voltage, data transmission, and signal integrity. -
What are the applications of instrument cables?
Instrument cables are primarily used for signal transmission in instrumentation and measurement systems. These cables are designed to carry low-voltage signals from sensors to controllers, ensuring accurate data transmission in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, automated manufacturing, and telecommunications. Instrument cables are essential for providing reliable communication between electrical equipment and monitoring systems, ensuring the precision and efficiency of control systems. -
Where are control cables typically used?
Control cables are widely used in industrial automation systems, machinery control, power plants, and building systems. They are commonly found in manufacturing plants for controlling motors, valves, actuators, and other equipment. Control cables are also used in home automation systems, lighting control circuits, and security systems to transmit control signals from controllers to connected devices. Their versatility makes them crucial for any system requiring signal transmission for operational control. -
What materials are used in the construction of control and instrument cables?
Both control cables and instrument cables are typically constructed with copper or aluminum conductors for excellent electrical conductivity. Instrument cables often use shielding such as braided copper or aluminum foil to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and ensure reliable signal transmission. The insulation materials used for both types of cables include PVC, XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene), and EPR (ethylene propylene rubber), providing protection against moisture, heat, and abrasion. The outer sheath is usually made of PVC or PE, offering additional protection for the cable.
