What is SY Cable?
SY cable is a flexible, multicore control cable that is designed for use in industrial and automation systems. It is characterized by its steel wire braid reinforcement, which provides mechanical protection and ensures flexibility while resisting mechanical stress. SY cables are commonly used in control systems, machinery, and installations where durability and signal integrity are crucial.
------------------
What are the key features of SY Cable?
Conductor: Made from high-quality stranded plain copper. Multicore configurations typically range from 2 to 25 cores.
Insulation: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) insulation for each conductor. Provides electrical insulation and heat resistance.
Bedding: A PVC bedding layer between the cores and the steel wire braid for added protection and structural integrity.
Braiding: Galvanized Steel Wire Braid (GSWB) provides mechanical strength and protection against external forces. Offers limited electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding.
Outer Sheath: Transparent PVC sheath to allow visual inspection of the steel wire braid. Provides resistance to oils, chemicals, and UV exposure.

What are the technical specifications of SY Cable?
Voltage Rating: 300/500V
Max. Temp. Rating: 70°C
------------------
What are the applications of SY Cable?
Industrial Automation: Used in control circuits for machinery, conveyors, and robotic systems.
Measurement and Instrumentation: Reliable for low-voltage signal transmission.
Building Management Systems: Suitable for HVAC systems and lighting control.
Temporary Installations: Flexible design makes it ideal for temporary setups.
