Power & Control Cable
Power and Control Cable
Power and control cables are the most common electrical cables used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications for power supply and signal transmission.
What is a power cable? A power cable is an assembly of one or more electrical conductors that transfer energy from its source – it’s usually the primary cable used to make its operating equipment work.
What is a control cable? Control cables are single or multiconductor cables that transfer data to other devices for measurement, regulation, and automation control.
Power and control cables are driven by application demands varying in levels of voltage, shielding options, flexibility requirements, oil resistance, and types of insulation to withstand environmental and operating conditions.
