Key engineering advantages
Critical manufacturing construction choices engineered for reliability, thermal endurance, and rapid site installation.
Foil & Braid Screening
Aluminium Mylar tape with tinned copper drain wire (Individual and Overall screen) eliminates electromagnetic and RF interference.
Twisted Pair Geometry
Uniform pitch twisting cancels out magnetic crosstalk and noise between adjacent measurement channels.
Flame Retardant Sheath
High oxygen-index PVC or LSZH jacket prevents flame propagation along cable trays in the event of fire.
Intrinsically Safe Option
Available with distinct blue outer sheathing for certified Zone 0/1/2 intrinsically safe control loops.
Typical project applications
Where electrical contractors, EPCs, and industrial plants across Gujarat deploy this cable range.
- PLC, DCS, SCADA, and distributed telemetry instrumentation loops
- Process sensors, temperature transmitters (RTD/thermocouple), and 4–20 mA analogue signals
- Industrial automation, robotics, solenoid valves, and motor control interlocks
- Refinery, chemical plant, pharmaceutical, and hazardous zone intrinsically safe circuits
Read a cable layer by layer
Conductor
The metal that carries the current: copper or aluminium, made of many strands so the cable stays flexible.
Every layer is a question we ask when you send a specification. Get the layers right and the cable fits the job.
Build the cable you need
Each choice is a layer of the cross-section. Pick the family, set the layers, and send us the specification as an enquiry.
