Instrumentation Cable

Instrumentation Cables – Precision and Reliability

Instrumentation cables are essential for carrying low-voltage signals between sensors, instruments, and control systems. They are built to deliver precise, interference-free performance in environments where accuracy and reliability are critical. Batt Cables offers a complete range of instrumentation cables suitable for industrial, commercial, and specialised applications.

Key Features of Instrumentation Cables

• Accurate Signal Transmission – Designed to handle sensitive measurement and control signals without loss or distortion.

• Screening Options – Foil or braid screening reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI), protecting signal integrity.

• Multiple Configurations – Available as multi-core, twisted pair, triad or quad designs to suit varied installations.

• Durable Construction – High-quality insulation and sheath materials provide resistance to moisture, abrasion, and chemicals.

• Armoured Variants – SWA or tape armoured versions available for mechanical protection in demanding environments.

• Fire Performance Options – Flame-retardant and LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) cables for enhanced safety in public or enclosed spaces.

Applications of Instrumentation Cables

Our instrumentation cables are widely used across industries where reliable signal transmission is vital, including:

• Process Control & Automation – Connecting sensors and controllers in industrial plants, factories, and automation systems.

• Measurement & Monitoring – Accurate transmission of data for instrumentation panels, monitoring devices, and testing equipment.

• Marine & Offshore – Suitable variants for installations exposed to moisture, salt, and vibration.

• Oil, Gas & Petrochemical – Resistant to challenging conditions in refineries, plants, and chemical facilities.

• Utilities & Infrastructure – Used in power generation, water treatment, and building management systems.

• HVAC & Safety Systems – Signal and control circuits for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and alarm systems.

Types of Instrumentation Cables Available

Our category includes a wide selection to match your project requirements:

1. Screened Instrumentation Cable

   • Includes foil or braid screening to protect sensitive signals from electrical noise.

   • Essential in environments with motors, drives, or other sources of interference.

2. Twisted Pair and Multi-Pair Cables

   • Twisted construction reduces cross-talk between pairs.

   • Commonly used for transmitting multiple signals within one sheath.

3. Armoured Instrumentation Cable

   • Provides mechanical protection against impact, crushing, or rodent damage.

   • Suitable for outdoor or underground installations.

4. Fire Performance and LSZH Cables

   • Low smoke, zero halogen materials minimise toxic emissions in fire.

   • Compliant with strict building and safety standards.

5. Custom Configurations

   • Options available for non-standard core counts, insulation types, and sheathing materials.

   • Ideal for specialist projects requiring tailored solutions.

Choosing the Right Instrumentation Cable

When selecting an instrumentation cable, consider:

• Core count and conductor size – match the number of signals and distances involved.

• Screening requirements – overall screen or individually screened pairs depending on interference risk.

• Sheath material – PVC, XLPE, PE or LSZH depending on environmental and fire safety needs.

• Armouring – whether protection from mechanical stress is required.

• Operating conditions – check temperature ratings, resistance to chemicals, UV, or moisture.

Our datasheets and technical team are available to support you in making the right choice.
