    Instrument Cable

    Instrument cables are used for signal transmission and control lines in meters, instruments and other electrical equipment.
  • Instrument cables are used for signal transmission and control lines in meters, instruments, and other electrical equipment.

    Instrumentation cable is typically installed indoors and is suitable for humid environments.

    In industry, it is commonly used for communication, data, voice transmission signals and services, and for the interconnection of electrical equipment and instruments.

    Cable instruments are also available as armored instrument cables and unarmored instrument cables.

    The non-armored ones are generally used for indoor installation and are suitable for wet areas.

    They are mainly used for communication, data, and voice transmission signals and services within industrial process manufacturing plants, also used for interconnection of electrical equipment and instruments, usually in the oil industry.


    About Instrument Cable Type

    Armored Instrument Cable

    BS5308 Armoured Instrument Cable---Voltage Level 0.6/1KV

    Armored instrumentation cables are widely used between inverter power supplies and inverter motors.

    Armored LSZH cable versions are generally used when there is an increased risk of mechanical damage.

    The galvanized steel wire armor provides excellent protection.

    Pairing: Two insulated wires are twisted together uniformly, and the laying distance does not exceed 100 mm

    Binding tape: PETP transparent tape

    Collective shielding: Paste aluminum/polyester tape on paired metal pairs and make contact with tinned copper drain wire, thickness 0.5 mm ^ 2

    Inner Sheath: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) Sheath

    Paired or Triplex Instrument Cable

    Paired Instrument Cable---Voltage Level 0.6/1KV

    This cable for instrumentation is suitable for use in signal transmission and control circuits for instruments and other electrical equipment.

    The non-armored ones are generally used for indoor installations and are suitable for wet and humid areas.

    There are also communications, data, and voice transmission signals and services within industrial process manufacturing plants, and also for the interconnection of electrical equipment and instruments, typically used in the oil industry.
