Instrumentation Cable
An instrumentation cable is a specialized electrical cable designed to transmit low-voltage analog and digital control signals between field instruments and control systems. These cables are widely used in industries such as oil & gas, power plants, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and automation. They are engineered to ensure accurate signal transmission, minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI), and provide reliable performance in harsh industrial environments.
Common Types of Instrumentation Cable:
- Armoured Instrumentation Cable
- Unscreened (Unshielded) Twisted Pair Cable
- Overall Screened Twisted Pair Cable
- Multi-Pair Instrumentation Cable
- Multi-Triad Instrumentation Cable
- Fire Survival (Fire Resistant) Instrumentation Cable
- LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) Instrumentation Cable
- PVC Insulated Instrumentation Cable
- XLPE Insulated Instrumentation Cable
