What is SY Cable?

SY cable is a flexible, steel wire braided control cable designed for use in industrial automation, machinery, and process control systems. With excellent mechanical protection and flexibility, SY cables are ideal for installations where signal integrity and cable movement are critical. They are widely used in control panels, conveyor systems, HVAC equipment, and temporary site setups.

Why Our SY Cable Is Better

All of our SY cables up to 5 core are colour coded — not numbered. This makes installation faster, safer, and less prone to wiring errors. Colour-coded cores allow for easier circuit identification, better traceability during maintenance, and quicker fault-finding — all of which save time and money on-site.

Key Features of SY Cable

  • Stranded Copper Conductors: High-conductivity, plain copper cores in multicore options from 2 to 25 cores.
  • Colour-Coded PVC Insulation: Up to 5-core cables feature distinct colour-coded conductors for ease of identification.
  • PVC Bedding: Protects and stabilises the inner cores beneath the braid.
  • Galvanised Steel Wire Braid (GSWB): Offers mechanical protection and limited EMI shielding.
  • Transparent Outer Sheath: Durable PVC sheath allows visual inspection of braid integrity and protects against oils, UV, and chemicals.

Technical Specifications

  • Voltage Rating: 300/500V
  • Temperature Rating: -5°C to +70°C (fixed); 0°C to +70°C (flexing)
  • Core Identification: Colour-coded (up to 5-core), numbered (6+ cores)
  • Standards: Manufactured to VDE and British quality specifications

Common Applications

  • Automation Systems: Reliable performance in factory machinery, conveyors, and robotics.
  • Control Panels: Ideal for internal wiring in electrical cabinets and switchgear.
  • HVAC & BMS: Used in heating, ventilation, lighting, and building automation systems.
  • Temporary Power Systems: Flexible and durable for events, stage lighting, or temporary site power.

Why Choose Our SY Cable?

  • All Sizes in Stock: 2 core to 25 core options available, cut to length.
  • Colour-Coded Cores (up to 5 core): Faster and safer installation.
  • Fast UK Delivery: Next-day delivery available across most areas.
  • Trade-Trusted: Chosen by electricians, engineers, and panel builders across the UK.
  • Excellent Durability: Resistant to oil, UV, light mechanical stress, and chemicals.
