Product Category Information
When high-performance machinery meets complex electrical environments, electromagnetic interference (EMI) is an inevitable challenge. Our collection of Braided Screen Flexible Control Cables, often referred to as CEMC or CY cables, is specifically engineered to act as a barrier against signal noise. Featuring a high-coverage tinned copper braid (typically 80% to 85%), these cables ensure that data integrity and control signals remain uninterrupted. This is critical for Variable Speed Drive (VSD) setups, CNC machining, and automated production lines where "crosstalk" between power and signal lines can lead to costly downtime or equipment malfunction.
At Electrotraders, we prioritize compliance and durability. Every cable in this category is constructed with fine wire bare copper conductors (Class 5), providing the extreme flexibility required for tight bends in control panels or continuous movement in cable tracks. Adhering to AS/NZS 1125 and AS/NZS 3808 standards, our cables feature V75 PVC insulation and a unique transparent outer sheath. This clear jacket allows for immediate visual inspection of the shielding braid, a feature highly valued by maintenance electricians and industrial contractors in the mining, food processing, and film production industries.
Whether you are a Tradie wiring a specialized commercial bakery or an engineer designing a heavy-duty mining rig, our range starts at 0.75mm² in multiple core configurations (including dedicated earth cores). With a 300/500V rating and a test voltage of 4000V, these screened cables are built for the rigors of the Australian industrial landscape. Explore our various roll sizes, or contact our team of experienced electricians for custom cut-to-length requirements to suit your specific project needs.
Frequently Asked Questions: Braided Screen Control Cables
What is the main purpose of a braided screen on a control cable?
The primary purpose of a braided screen (tinned copper braid) is to provide electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection. It acts as a shield that prevents electrical "noise" from escaping the cable or interfering with sensitive nearby signals, which is critical in environments with Variable Speed Drives (VSD), motors, and automated machinery.
Can these flexible screened cables be used for power supply?
While often used for signal and data, our 0.6/1kV rated CEMC cables are specifically designed for heavy-duty power applications, including motor connections. However, 300/500V rated control cables should be limited to control circuits and low-power applications. Always check the Amperage and Voltage rating in our specification tables to ensure the cable meets your circuit requirements.
What does "Class 5 Flexibility" mean for my installation?
Class 5 flexibility refers to a conductor made of many fine strands of copper rather than a few thick ones. This makes the cable much easier to bend and route through tight enclosures, conduits, or cable tracks. For industrial electricians, this means faster installation and reduced risk of conductor fatigue in applications involving movement.
Are these cables compliant with Australian Standards?
Yes. At Electrotraders, we ensure our screened cables are manufactured to AS/NZS 1125 (conductors) and AS/NZS 3808 (insulation and sheathing). Our cables are designed to withstand the harsh Australian climate, featuring V75 PVC that is flame retardant and UV resistant.
