LT Copper Control Cable
Control cables are specialized cables designed for transmitting signals and controlling devices in a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. These cables are made of multiple conductors that are insulated with materials such as PVC, XLPE, or rubber to prevent electrical interference and noise. They are often used in machinery, automation systems, and other industrial settings where precise and reliable control of equipment is essential. Control cables are available in various sizes, configurations, and shielding options to meet different requirements, including multi-core designs, shielded or unshielded, and with or without armor.
Applications of Control Cables:
- Industrial automation: Control cables are used to connect sensors, actuators, and other devices in automated manufacturing plants and industrial systems.
- Building automation: Control cables are used in HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) systems, lighting control, security systems and other building automation applications.
- Transportation: Control cables are used in automotive, marine, and aerospace applications to transmit signals between different control systems.
- Robotics: Control cables are used to connect the various components of robots and other automated systems, including sensors, actuators, and controllers.
- Medical equipment: Control cables are used in medical equipment such as ultrasound machines, patient monitors, and surgical equipment.
- Power plants: Control cables are used in power plants to control and monitor the various processes involved in power generation and distribution.
- Data centers: Control cables are used in data centers to transmit signals between servers, storage devices, and other network equipment.

Specifications
These cables can be used on AC voltage up to & Including 1100 V or DC up to & including 1500 V.
1.5 Sq.mm. & 2.5 Sq.mm. upto 37 Cores
Annealed Bare Electrolytic Copper Conductor conforming to IS:8130:1984. Conductor may be stranded (Class-2) or Solid (Class-1). Both Plain and Tinned copper can be used.
Conductors are insulated with PVC Compound as per IS:5831:1984. Or XLPE insulation as per IS 7098 can be done
Cores are identified with a colour scheme as under
2 Cores - | Red & Black |
3 Cores - | Red, Yellow & Blue |
3½ & 4 Cores - | Red, Yellow, Blue & Black (Reduced Neutral Core in case of 3½ Core). |
5 Cores - | Red, Yellow, Blue, Black and Grey |
In case of cable exceeding five cores, two adjacent (counting and direction cores) in each layer shall be colored Blue, Yellow and remaining cores grey, or identification by numbers printed over insulation
Cores are laid up with a suitable lay
The Inner Sheath is applied over laid up of cores by extrusion/wrapping of thermoplastic material.
It is applied over inner sheath. It may consist of galvanized Round Steel wires or galvanized Flat Steel Strips.
A final covering of PVC Compound, conforming to IS:5831:1984, is applied over Armouring in case of Armoured Cable or over Inner Sheath in case of Unarmoured cable, called as “Outer Sheath”.
The Insulation, Inner Sheath or Outer Sheath can be HR PVC, FRLS PVC or FRHF Compound , depending upon their application.
