Instrument Cable
Instrument Cables are suitable for signal transmission, and control circuits for instruments or other electrical equipment. Instrument cables are generally usually installed indoors, suitable for humid environments. In the industrial industry, it is often used for communication, data, and voice transmission signals and services, and can also be used as the interconnection of electrical equipment and instruments.
Instrument Cable Types
It must be said that the models and specifications of instrumentation cables are very many and complex, ZMS through many years of sales cooperation experience lists the following kinds of hot-selling instrumentation cables for you to choose from, if you have other customized needs, welcome to email us.

ESI 09-6 Issue 5 Multi-Pair Instrument Cable
These multi-pair cables are mainly used for the switching and power supply of control, indication, and alarm equipment. The normal operating voltage does not exceed 150V DC (or 110V AC), and if used in remote sensing and surveying equipment, a larger conductor cross-section is required. In addition, this cable is available with a total shield of aluminum foil. Polyethylene can be used as insulation instead of PVC if installed in a flooded, humid environment.

Popular Science: Instrumentation Cable Selection
− According to the laying method, select the instrument cable protection serial number, whether it is armored or not, as well as the most basic size and specification.
− According to the conditions of use, area, and economy, choose copper core or aluminum core.
− According to the load size selection of specifications and several cores: lighting load selection of 4 cores, office buildings and important buildings selection of 4 +1 cores, less than 25mm2 when the selection of 5 cores.
− Voltage level should be matched with the line.
− 1kV and below the current of the cable is usually 2 times its power, and the purely resistive load current is 1.5 times its power.
− When the cable length is greater than 400 meters, the voltage drop should be considered when selecting cables.
− When selecting cables also take into account the starting current of the maximum load, the future development of the project, and the cross-section margin.
