Control Cable

Control cable—also known as industrial multi‑core cable—is widely used in automation, instrumentation, and control systems. Our range includes both screened and unscreened variants such as CY, YY, and SY, in a variety of core-counts, sheath colours, and cross-section options—ideal for diverse industrial applications.

Engineered to interface with sensors, actuators, PLCs, and machinery, our control cables deliver dependable signal integrity and mechanical protection where needed.

Types of Control Cable

CY Cable: Screened and flexible—perfect for environments requiring electromagnetic compatibility.
YY Cable: Cost-effective, unscreened multicore cable, commonly used in general control wiring.
SY Cable: Armoured with steel wire braid for robust mechanical protection in harsh conditions.
Multicore Industrial Cable: High-core-count cables suitable for complex automation and industrial setups.

Applications & Benefits

Commonly used in automation systems, PLC installations, manufacturing lines, and instrument control panels.
SY cables offer strength and mechanical resilience; CY and YY cables support signal clarity and interference control.
Available in multiple core sizes and configurations to meet specific control requirements.

How to Choose the Right Cable

Core Configuration: Match your number of signals or devices.
Screening: Use CY or YY for EMI-sensitive applications; SY when protection and durability are required.
Voltage Rating: Most cables are rated up to 300 V or 600 V—verify in product DL sheet.
Sheath & Core Adaptation: Factors like environmental exposure, flexibility, or colour coding can influence the choice.
