PVC sheathed instrument cables are usually used for communication, data and voice transmission signals and services in industrial production processes. They are also used for interconnecting electrical equipment and instruments for measurement, regulation and control engineering. They are used in modern computer systems that must process large amounts of data, such as high-capacitance computer systems in waste incineration plants or sewage treatment plants.

PVC sheathed instrument cables can be divided into:

• PVC insulation, PVC sheathed instrument cables
• PE insulation, PVC sheathed instrument cables
• XLPE insulation, PVC sheathed instrument cables
