Control Cable Overview | Descripción General | 概述
Control cables encompass a large family of flexible cables designed for measurement, modulation, and control applications in industrial process automation. These cables are manufactured to various British, European, and International standards, primarily VDE 0250 (German Industrial Standard). The most widely used types include the CY cable (copper-screened), SY cable (steel wire braided), YY cable (unscreened), and the LiYCY & LiYY data transmission cables. Control cables are often referred to by their application, such as machinery supply cable, motor cable, robotics cable, or simply multi-core flexible cables.
ESLos cables de control abarcan una gran familia de cables flexibles diseñados para aplicaciones de medición, modulación y control en automatización de procesos industriales. Estos cables se fabrican según normas británicas, europeas e internacionales, principalmente VDE 0250.
繁中控制電纜涵蓋了一大類用於工業過程自動化中測量、調變和控制應用的柔性電纜。這些電纜按照英國、歐洲和國際標準製造，主要是 VDE 0250（德國工業標準）。最廣泛使用的類型包括 CY 電纜（銅編織屏蔽）、SY 電纜（鋼絲編織）、YY 電纜（無屏蔽）和 LiYCY & LiYY 數據傳輸電纜。控制電纜通常按其應用命名，如機械供電電纜、電機電纜、機器人電纜，或簡稱多芯柔性電纜。【說明：VDE 是德國電氣工程師協會的縮寫，VDE 0250 是控制電纜的基礎標準，定義了導體、絕緣和護套的要求】
Depending on their construction properties, these flexible cables can be suitable for use under light, medium, or high mechanical stresses. They offer various degrees of protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) through copper braid screening, and mechanical protection through galvanised steel wire braiding. Some variants also provide resistance to oils, chemicals, and caustic substances through special sheathing materials like polyurethane (PUR).

Control cables manufactured to VDE 0250 standards are identified by a systematic designation code. The letters indicate the cable’s construction and properties: Y = PVC insulation/sheath, S = Steel wire braid, C = Copper braid screen, Li = Stranded conductor (Litze), H = Halogen-free (LSZH). Understanding these designations helps specifiers select the correct cable for their application.
ESLos cables de control fabricados según las normas VDE 0250 se identifican mediante un código de designación sistemático que indica la construcción y propiedades del cable.
繁中按照 VDE 0250 標準製造的控制電纜通過系統化的標識代碼進行識別。字母表示電纜的結構和特性：Y = PVC絕緣/護套，S = 鋼絲編織，C = 銅編織屏蔽，Li = 絞合導體（精細絞線），H = 無鹵素（LSZH）。理解這些標識有助於規範編制者為其應用選擇正確的電纜。
