Overview
Flexible Armoured SY Type Mains Cable
A continental style flexible mains cable, commonly known as ’SY’ type, which has three layers of protection, combining the characteristics of a flexible mains cable with that of a steel wire armoured type. It is ideal for applications where power is required in arduous situations, on automated or robotic equipment and where equipment may be subjected to vibration or movement. The method of construction and materials used provide a high degree of flexibility and mechanical strength, coupled with good resistance to a wide range of chemicals. The braid provides partial electrical screening and the cores are colour coded or numeric coded for identification.
