What is control cable?
What is Control Cable? Control cables are multi-conductor cables used in automation and instrumentation applications. Control cables can measure and regulate transmissions of automated processes. Control cables are often UL rated.
What are the types of control cables?
There are three different types of Control Cable in the area of process automation: CY, YY and SY Cable. With its GSWB braid SY is suited to installations with medium to high mechanical stress. YY and CY Control Cable are very similar in construction, but without the mechanical protection provided by the steel wire.
What are control cables in aircraft?
[Figure 5-67] This is a cable of medium flexibility and is used for trim tab controls, engine controls, and indicator controls. The 7 × 19 cable is made up of seven strands of 19 wires each. Six of these strands are laid around the center strand.
How do you identify a power cable and control cable?
Color identify: The color of the control cable insulation core are generally black printed white, there are low-voltage power cables are generally color separation. outward appearance: The power cable always have thicker sheath ,while control cable have thinner sheath .
What is the difference between instrument cable and control cable?
The instrument signal cable is mainly used to transmit data signals, and the signal cable is shielded to prevent external signal interference. The control cable is mainly used for transmitting electrical signals. It is generally unshielded.
What are the three types of cables?
Fiber optic cable, twisted pair cable, and coaxial cable are the three main types of network cables used in communication systems.
What is YY control cable?
YY control cable is a highly flexible unshielded multicore power and signal control cable able to support a range of applications including engineering, plant installations, car production, bottling plants and many more. It is made up of plain electrolytic fine copper wire strands with PVC-based insulation.
How are control cables tested corrosion?
Corrosion will be indicated by broken wires or powdered, oxidized metal on the surface of the cable. Examine the cable by rubbing it with a soft white cotton cloth. If the cloth snags, broken wires are present.
What is the difference between control cable and signal cable?
The signal cable is mainly used to transmit data signals, and the signal cable is shielded to prevent external signal interference. The control cable is mainly used to transmit electrical signals, and is generally unshielded.
Can you use control cable for power?
Power and control cables are quite almost like one another. Both of them are utilized in electric utility in buildings also as in industrial areas. Where power cables are used for the transmission of electricity, the control cables are wont to control or measure within the well-known field of automation.
Why shielding is used for cable?
All electrical cable will radiate energy to, and pick up energy from, its surroundings. As such, shielding can also be used to contain the electromagnetic energy radiated by a cable, which can protect nearby sensitive components.
What is flexible control cable?
Flexible control cables from Allied Wire are part of our extensive inventory of control cables, which are supplied to a wide variety of industries, including manufacturing, construction, power and distribution.
What are push and pull cables?
Push Pull Cable. Push pull cables and controls are a particular type of control cable designed for the positive and precise transmission of mechanical motion within a given system. Unlike their counterpart pull-pull cables, these wire rope assemblies offer multidirectional control.
What are aircraft flight control cables?
The flight control system in most airplanes consists of a series of bellcranks and rods that connect the flight control surface (aileron, rudder, or elevator) to a series of cables that run through the wings and fuselage to the yoke or stick.
What are the types of network cables?
Common Network Cable types. Cables are commonly used to carry communication signals within LAN. There are three common types of cable media that can be used to connect devices to a network and they are coaxial cable, twisted-pair cable, and fiber-optic cable. Coaxial cable. Coaxial cable looks similar to the cable used to carry TV signal.
