Description

SY cables are used as an interconnecting cable between fixed and mobile equipment in conveyors, assembly lines, production lines and machine tool manufacture where the galvanised steel wire braid armour gives excellent mechanical protection.

Constructed with flexible fine-wire copper conductors, PVC insulation, a galvanised steel wire braid (GSWB) inner layer, and a clear PVC outer sheath, this 5 core 16mm² SY cable delivers high power capacity alongside superior mechanical protection and flexibility for heavy industrial 3-phase applications.

The galvanised steel wire braid layer protects the internal cores against physical damage, abrasion, and mechanical stress while allowing the cable to remain far more flexible than standard steel wire armoured (SWA) cable.

Sold cut to length per metre to suit your exact project requirements.
