German Standard Industrial Cables
SY Steel Wire Braid Cable

Application and Description

SY Steel Wire Braid Cable is supplied to a wide number of industries including building and construction (often in airports), rail and transport infrastructure, transmission, distribution and power networks as well as automation and process control. SY Cable is used as interconnecting cable for measuring, controlling or regulation in signal and control equipment. This braided control cable is found frequently on assembly and production lines, conveyors, in computer units and machine tool manufacture. The SY Cable's flexible and
versatile design makes it a great choice for linking fixed and mobile equipment – as well as projects where fixed installations are required. With the right protection (such as keeping it out of direct sunlight), SY Control Cable is useful for outdoor installations. The SY Flex is most suitable, however, for work in dry or moist indoor environments.
