Control Cable
PVC, Shielded, Armoured and Multi Core Control Cable for Industrial Control and Electrical Wiring
Our control cables are used for electrical control panels, industrial automation, machinery wiring and production line signal circuits. We can manufacture and supply multiple types, such as PVC insulated type, shielded type, armoured type, and flexible type. PVC insulated types are suitable for fixed wiring. Shielded types are selected for signal protection. Armoured types are used where there is external mechanical stress. Send us your specifications, drawings and project requirements We will select the suitable cable types and share our control cable price information with you.
These cables are used in control panels, automation equipment, machine wiring, production lines and industrial signal circuits. We can supply different types to suit various project requirements, such as PVC insulated type, shielded type, armored type, and flexible type. PVC insulated control cable is used for fixed wiring. Armoured control cable can withstand external mechanical forces. Shielded control cable has strong resistance to electromagnetic interference. We can customize these cables to suit your specific requirements and usage conditions.
Main Control Cable Types We Supply
We can manufacture and supply standard types for indoor wiring. We can also supply some types with shielding, armor, flame-retardant sheaths, and flexible conductors. Our common types include PVC insulated type, shielded type, armored type, and flexible type.
PVC Control Cable
PVC insulated type is suitable for fixed wiring. They are commonly used in control panels, equipment rooms, and general industrial facilities. It is an economical choice when the cable does not require shielding or additional mechanical protection.
Shielded Control Cable
They are electrical cables with a metallic barrier (foil or braid). The metallic barrier can protect the cable signal integrity in power, automation, and control circuits from electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Armoured Control Cable
Armoured design is suitable for industrial areas to withstand the external mechanical stress. They can be installed in cable trenches, pipes, and outdoor cable trays.
Flexible Control Cable
They are specialized flexible conductor electrical cable. They are designed and manufactured to withstand light movement, bending, and twisting.
Main Control Cable Types by Model We Supply
Control Cable Applications
They are widely used in many engineering projects. Different applications require different cable types. They are widely used in control panels, machinery, power distribution units, and outdoor cable trenches.
For Panel Wiring
Standard PVC insulated type is usually selected for fixed wiring inside control panels, equipment rooms and general electrical installations.
For Signal Protection
Shielded type is recommended when the cable is close to motors, frequency converters, instruments or other interference sources.
For Mechanical Protection
Armoured type is selected for cable trenches, ducts, outdoor trays or industrial areas where mechanical protection is required.

How to Choose the Right Control Cable
The installation location and the circuit type have a significant impact on the selection of control cable type. When they are used in simple control panels, the main parameters are the number of cores and conductor size. When they are used in factory automated production lines, shielding performance may be more important. Shielding may be more important if the cable is close to motors or other interference sources when they are installed in factory automation lines. When they are installed in outdoor cable trays or cable trenches, the armor and sheath materials should be carefully inspected. We need to confirm whether shield is required when they are used for signal or measurement circuits.
