Why Power Cable Quality Matters More Than Price
While upfront cost is tempting, quality cables deliver reliable voltage transfer, better insulation, flame resistance, and durable terminations that minimize outages and maintenance over the system’s life. In harsh industrial environments, small weaknesses can trigger outages. Premium cables use certified copper conductors, high-temperature insulation, proper shielding, and rugged jackets to resist heat, chemicals, and abrasion. […]
Do control cables really improve system reliability in harsh industrial environments?
Yes. High-quality control cables help maintain signal integrity, resist EMI, endure temperature and chemical exposure, and tolerate mechanical stress, all of which reduce outages and maintenance costs over the system life. Reliability comes from material quality and robust construction. Copper conductors with tight tolerances, flame-retardant insulation, appropriate shielding, and a durable jacket work together to […]
Do High-Quality Cables Really Save Money?
Yes—investing in quality reduces downtime, maintenance, and risk, delivering a lower total cost of ownership over the life of the system. Short-term savings are tempting, but total cost of ownership matters more. High-quality cables rely on certified materials, traceable manufacturing, and rigorous factory testing, which translate to fewer failures, less downtime, and longer service life, […]
LiYCY Cable
There are two variants of LiYCY, one of which has twisted pairs (TP) for reduced interference (crosstalk). These cables are also available without a screen as LiYY. The voltage rating for LiYCY cables with a cross-section of up to 0.14mm2 is 350V. Larger cross-sections have a voltage rating of 500V. They operate in a temperature […]
H05VVC4V5-K Cable
As a flexible screened control cable, the H05VVC4V5-K cable is suitable for dry, damp and wet environments in internal installations. The cable is designed for fixed installations under medium mechanical load conditions – the cable can be subject to occasional, non-continuous flexing without tensile load. The copper wire braid provides for protection against electromagnetic interference […]
CY PVC (YSLCY) Control Cable
CY PVC and CY LSZH cables are used in control equipment, installed as interconnecting cables for measurement, control or regulation. They are typically used in applications requiring interference-free transmission due to their multi-core flex, tinned copper wire braid (TCWB), and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) separator, which protect it from external electromagnetic influences which could degrade accurate […]
YY PVC (YSLY) Control Cable
Veriflex YY cables are versatile multi-core power and signal control cables suitable for a wide variety of industrial applications. These include use as an interconnecting cable in manufacturing plants and other automated production facilities for measuring, controlling or regulating equipment including assembly and production lines, conveyors and computer units. These unshielded control cables are highly […]
N2XY IEC 60502-1 XLPE PVC 0.6/1kV Cable
These N2XY cables can be used for fixed installation in buildings – fixed on cable trays, in free air, within conduits, or in walls – or for underground use in direct burial and in damp environments where there is no risk of mechanical damage. Available as N2XY-J with an earthing conductor or as N2XY-O without […]
NA2XY Cable Aluminium XLPE PVC – 0.6/1kV
With applications across a wide range of industries, including EV & e-Mobility and Renewable Energy (including wind turbines and solar farms), they are suitable for fixed installation, without mechanical stress. They can be installed in free air, or in the ground – subject to relevant national wiring regulations. The cable is compliant with the Construction […]
N2XRY Cu/XLPE/PVC/SWA/PVC0.6/1kV Cable
N2XRY is a PVC insulated and sheathed cable, comparable to the British standard cable BS5467. The N2XRH cable uses Low Smoke Zero Halogen compounds (also known as HFFR – halogen free flame retardant) and is comparable to the BS6724 cable. These cables are the copper conductor equivalent of the NA2XRH and NA2XRY cables, delivering a […]
