PVC control and connection cables are particularly suitable for control devices, e.g. on machine tools, conveyor or assembly lines, transporting equipment, production lines, and construction of industrial plants. The cables can be moved after installation, especially for alignment and adjustment as well as inspection of machines, provided that the cables are not mechanically overloaded. Wherever a certain protection against electromagnetic interferences is requested cables with a copper screen can be used. These cables are not to be used for outdoor installation.
