CY Cable

CY Cable is a type of control cable used to connect equipment in production or assembly lines. The cable uses a copper wire braid below the outer sheathing to protect the insulation and cores beneath from damage.

We also recommend you use this cable in areas which have a lot of electrical interference as this cable also helps with that too!
