VDE Standard Control Cable
SY PVC /PVC/GSWB/PVC Control Cable
Application:
For use as a measuring, control and signal cable for the machine tool industry, plant construction, heating and
air conditioning, and as a flexible cable between fixed and mobile equipment. The cable is well protected against
mechanical damage by the narrow weave steel-wire braid.
• Note: should not be used in any installations where the cable is subjected to repetitive flexing.

Conductor: Class 5 annealed copper conductors to BS6360 / VDE0295
Insulation: PVC
Bedding: PVC
Braiding: Galvanized Steel Wire Braid (GSWB)
Sheath: PVC (Type TM2 to BS7655)
Voltage Rating: 300/500V
Tempe rature rating:Flexing -15 to +70°C,Static -35 to +70°C
Minimum bending radius: 6 x overall diameter
Core identification: Black with White numbers. (3 core and above to include Green/Yellow)
Coloured cores available on request

The above ratings are based on cable in Free air, in an ambient air temperature of 30°C.
For ambient air temperatures other than 30°C the following rating factors should be applied:
Ratings for cables up to and including 4mm2 are based on 60°C conductor operating temperature with 6mm2
and above based on 70°C operating temperature.
