Instrumentation Cables from Allied Wire and Cable are applicable in a variety of industries. Like all Industrial Cables, these Instrumentation Cables are ideal for use in tough and demanding applications like cable trays, conduits, and ducts. However, they are also suitable for use in non-industrial environments. 

Instrumentation Cables possess excellent electrical, thermal, and physical properties. They can withstand harsh treatment, such as abrasion and contact with flames. t is also suitable for use in normal, non-industrial conditions as well.This type of cable is suitable for use in circuits up to either 300 or 600 volts. 

Instrumentation Cables come in different varieties, such as Overall Shielded Pairs/Triads or Individually Shielded Pairs/Triads. Industrial Cables are ideal for use in many applications, including industrial robotics, power generation, seaport cranes, and petrochemical and natural gas production. They are the perfect cables for high-temperature environments as well as high-voltage uses.

Instrumentation Cable FAQs

What is instrumentation cable used for?

Instrumentation cable is used to transmit electrical signals and power in industrial automation, process control, and other applications that require precise control and measurement. Instrumentation cable is commonly seen in chemical and petrochemical, oil and gas, mining, and water treatment facilities, all of which employ process automation.

What is the difference between instrumentation cable and regular electrical cable?

Instrumentation cable is designed to be more flexible and durable than regular electrical cable. This required as instrumentation cable is used in demanding environments and needs to be able to endure abrasion, chemical exposure, and high temperatures. It is also typically designed to transmit signals with a high level of accuracy and reliability that is not generally expected of regular electrical cables and wiring.

What factors should I consider when choosing instrumentation cable?

Some factors to consider when choosing instrumentation cable include the environment in which the cable will be used, the type and frequency of the signals being transmitted, and pertinent regulatory or safety standards that apply. It is also important to choose a cable that is compatible with the connectors and other equipment being used.

How do I install and terminate instrumentation cable?

Installing and terminating instrumentation cable requires specialized tools and techniques. Therefore, this is something that would be best to leave to trained professionals.

How do I care for and maintain instrumentation cable?

Instrumentation cable requires proper care and maintenance which can help to ensure its reliability and longevity. This includes inspecting the cable periodically for any damage or wear and using special covers or proper storage methods.
