The control cable is a multi-stranded cable, each strand is responsible for transmitting the signal. These signals are used to send commands to control equipment in industrial environments. In general, it can be said that any cable with more than 5 strands can be called a control cable.
Among the most important signals that are transmitted by the control cable in the control circuits, we can mention the control, protection and measurement signals. Also, control cables are responsible for transmitting analog signals such as currents passing through equipment and digital signals such as control commands in the electrical panel.
