Applications of Control and Connection Cables
This overview of control cables contains information describing the definition and types of control cables as well as possible areas of application for the different cable types.
Control cables & connection cables are used for the current supply for any electric motor. In general, control cables have a green/yellow earth conductor in the outer layer of the twisted assembly.
Typical applications of PVC control cables
PVC control and connection cables are particularly suitable for control devices, e.g. on machine tools, conveyor or assembly lines, transporting equipment, production lines and construction of industrial plants. The cables can be moved after installation, especially for alignment and adjustment as well as inspection of machines, provided that the cables are not mechanically overloaded. Wherever a certain protection against electromagnetic interferences is requested cables with a copper screen can be used. These cables are not to be used for outdoor installation.

PUR control and connection cables are particularly suitable for control devices, e.g. on machine tools, conveyor or assembly lines, transporting equipment and production lines. They can be used at high mechanical load for fixed installation or flexible application with free movement, without tensile load and mechanically guided movement in dry, damp and wet rooms. These cables are used wherever abrasion resistance, notch toughness, oil and chemical resistance are strongly requested.
