Control Cables

Areas of Usage: These cables are designed to provide communication between devices can be used in many areas from control engineering to security systems.

In 1959, ÖLFLEX® was the very first control cable to be designed with colour-coded wires and was at the same time the first branded cable in the world. Today, ÖLFLEX® connecting and control cables are some of the most widely used in the world, and for good reason. Properties: — Flexible, almost entirely oil-resistant and universally applicable. — Fulfills the most demanding requirements for electrical and mechanical properties. — Comprehensive range for all environmental conditions, including wet/dry, EMC, outside/inside, various temperature ranges, etc. — Suitable for fixed connection or energy supply chains. — Also halogen-free and available with international licences.

Initiator cables, also referred to as sensor/actuator cables, connect control units and different sensors, or, in the case of reversal of the measurement principle, actuators. Frequently used abbreviations include ini or ini cable (plural: inis). Sensor or measurement transducers transform physical quantities such as rotation, speed, distance or length into analogue electric impulses. In the case of an actuator, the measured electric current (symbol: I, unit: ampere; A) or voltage (symbol: U, unit: volt; V) is transformed into temperature, pressure or torque. The connection cable consists of at least three cores with a small cross-section of between 0.14mm² and 0.34mm². In the simplest case, two cores are required for supplying the voltage, while the last core transmits an I/O signal. For sensitive applications, there are shielded versions in addition to the traditional ini cables to avoid EMC disruptions (electromagnetic compatibility).
