Thin-Insulation Control Cable
- Use For:
Unshielded: Automation
Double Shielded: Automation, Interference Shielding - Flexible
- Temperature Range: -40° to 220° F
- Insulation: Modified Polyphenylene Ether (mPPE) Plastic
Nearly two-thirds the diameter of standard control cable, this cable fits in tight spaces. The modified polyphenylene ether (mPPE) insulation is less than half the weight of the PVC insulation found on standard control cable, yet is more abrasion and cut resistant. Use it to send signal and data to operate, measure, or regulate automated equipment that requires cable to periodically flex and bend. It’s often used with conveyors, CNC machines, and to connect equipment to a control panel. Cable is flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.
Use unshielded cable in applications where signal interference is not a concern.
Double shielded cable has a layer of braid and foil shielding that provides excellent protection against signal interference from nearby equipment and devices.

Variable-Frequency Drive Motor Cable
This cable is used in variable-frequency drive motors. It has a layer of braid and foil shielding that provides excellent protection against signal interference caused by voltage fluctuations and current spikes. The industry designation is WTTC, so it can be installed in cable trays or raceway in a wind turbine generator. It’s flame rated FT4 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with material mounted to a vertical tray. The insulation resists oil.
Cable with power wires sends electricity to run a motor. MSHA accepted cable meets Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) standards for material quality.

Keep water from damaging wires—this cable has a layer of absorbent material that traps moisture before it reaches the internal wires. Use it in washdown areas, indoor/outdoor transitions, and direct burial without conduit. It sends signal and data to operate, measure, or regulate automated equipment.
