Lead Sheathed Instrumentation Cables
Instrumentation Cable are single or multi-pair/triple cables designed to carry signals. They are used for connecting instruments and electrical equipment especially in plants where process control is required, where transducer-generated signals are transmitted through to panels, controllers and other devices.
Twisting of the pairs reduces the amount of electromagnetic interference (EMI) from external sources or cross talk between neighboring pairs.
The construction with individually shielded pair is typically used for analog signals and the construction with total shield only is used for digital signals.
Typical applications are in the process industry: Oil & Gas, Chemical and Petrochemical, Water treatment, Mining and more generally in any plant where a process automation is implemented.
