Instrumentation & Braided Cables

Instrumentation and Braided Cables

Braided, Shielded, and Instrumentation Cables are designed for signal transmission, process control, and data communication in industrial environments. These cables ensure minimal signal loss, excellent EMI/RFI protection, and enhanced durability, making them ideal for sensitive electronic and automation systems.

Types & Construction

Braided cables feature a woven metallic shield (usually copper or aluminum) that provides mechanical strength and protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI). These cables are highly flexible and durable, making them suitable for dynamic applications like robotics and industrial automation.

Conductor: High-purity electrolytic copper ensures low resistance & high efficiency
Insulation: PVC/XLPE insulation for thermal stability & electrical protection
Braiding: Tinned copper or aluminum braiding for EMI shielding & mechanical strength
Sheathing: Flame-retardant PVC/LSZH for long-term protection

Shielded cables have an additional conductive layer (foil, braid, or both) that minimizes external interference and enhances signal integrity in sensitive applications like audio, video, and industrial control systems.

Foil Shielding: Provides 100% coverage against EMI/RFI
Braided Shielding: Offers high mechanical protection & grounding efficiency
Combination Shielding: Uses both foil and braid for maximum noise suppression

Instrumentation cables are used for transmitting low-voltage signals in process control and automation. They provide reliable data transmission in industries like oil & gas, power plants, and automation systems.

Twisted Pair / Triad Design: Reduces crosstalk and improves signal clarity
Multiple shielding options: Foil, braid, or both for superior protection
Available in multi-core / pair / Triad variants: Up to 61 cores / Pair / Triad for complex systems
