Control & Instrumentation Cables

Signals, control and automation

Control and instrumentation cables carry signals, control wiring and automation data between panels, field devices and control systems. NPE supplies multicore control and screened instrumentation cables for the application.

Screened instrumentation cable protects low-level signals from interference; we select the core count, screen and rating for the control philosophy and environment.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need screened cable?
For analogue and low-level signals, yes — a screen limits interference; digital and simple control may not.
How many cores?
From the control schedule plus spare cores for future signals; we size from the wiring diagram.
Overall or individual screen?
Individual pair screens for sensitive analogue signals, overall screen for general control.
Can it run with power cable?
It should be segregated from power cabling; we advise the separation and routing.
