It also has the added benefit of a galvanised steel wire braid with PVC bedding, so it can easily cope with situations of medium to high mechanical stress.

Which industries use SY Cable?

A wide number of industries use flexible SY Cable. Commonly found in building and construction (often in airports), rail and transport infrastructure, transmission, distribution and power networks as well as automation and process control.

Use flexible SY Cable as interconnecting cable for measuring, controlling or regulation in signal and control equipment.

This braided control cable is a popular choice for installations on assembly and production lines as well as conveyors. Also found in computer units and machine tool manufacture. The SY Cable’s flexible and versatile design makes it ideal for linking fixed and mobile equipment as well as projects where fixed installations are required.

With the right protection (such as keeping it out of direct sunlight), SY Cable is useful for outdoor installations. The SY Cable is most suitable for work in dry or moist indoor environments.

Uses for the clear sheath?

The clear sheath allows you to inspect the SY Cable with ease for signs of deterioration, damage and also corrosion.

Is a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LS0H) SY Cable available?

For public areas, a LS0H version of the SY Cable is often made to order. In case of fire LSoH emits low levels of smoke and non-toxic levels of halogen gas (typically under 0.5% HCl emission).
