Electromagnetically shielded cables for noise-free analog signals, digital I/O, transducer wiring and BMS networks
Industrial automation plants, pumping stations, and BMS building networks depend on low-noise signal transmission between field instruments and PLC control panels. Nairobi Power Engineers stocks and supplies high-specification Control & Instrumentation Cables conforming to BS 5308 (Part 1 and Part 2) and BS EN 50288-7.
Available in multi-core (numbered cores for control relay circuits) and twisted multi-pair configurations with individual and collective aluminium/polyester foil shielding (CAM/ICAM) and tinned copper drain wires, our cables eliminate electromagnetic interference (EMI) from adjacent power switchgear.
Signal Shielding • BS 5308
Overall screened (CAM) and individually screened pairs (ICAM) with drain wires for 4-20mA, 0-10V, RTD, and thermocouple signals.
Numbered Cores • YY / CY / SY
Flexible numbered control cables (YY unshielded, CY tinned copper braid shielded, SY steel wire braided) for machine wiring and pushbuttons.
