CY Cable, also known as CY Screened Cable or CY Control Cable, is a flexible, shielded multi-core cable designed for signal transmission and control applications in environments where electromagnetic interference (EMI) could impact performance. It features a transparent PVC sheath, tinned copper wire braid, and number-coded conductors, making it ideal for machine control, instrumentation, automation systems, and data signal transmission.
