YY Control Cable Application

YY Control Cable is used as a control cable on conveyors, assembly and production lines. It is generally used indoors as an interconnecting cable in signal and control equipment.

These cables are not UV resistant but can be used outdoors if adequately protected against direct sunlight in trunking etc.

YY Control Cable Standard

Generally to BS6500 and VDE0250

CONSTRUCTION :
