The Pitacs P3SY 3 Core SY Control Flex Cable is a screened control cable designed for measuring, monitoring and control applications in industrial, commercial and engineering environments. Suitable for machinery, manufacturing systems, HVAC installations, power stations and automated control equipment, this cable provides reliable signal transmission while offering enhanced mechanical protection, making it ideal for control circuits operating in demanding installation conditions. It is commonly used where both signal integrity and physical durability are required within a flexible control wiring system.
Manufactured with fine stranded Class 5 copper conductors and PVC insulation, the P3SY cable is designed for flexibility and ease of installation in control panels and equipment wiring systems. Unlike CY variants which use a copper braid screen, SY cables use a galvanised steel wire braid, providing mechanical protection against crushing, abrasion and general site damage while still allowing flexible installation in confined spaces.
Manufactured to BS EN 50525-2-11 standards, the Pitacs P3SY is intended for indoor use in dry or damp environments and is widely specified in industrial control systems where mechanical robustness is as important as reliable electrical performance.

Mechanical Protection for Industrial Environments
The Pitacs P3SY 3 Core SY Control Flex Cable is designed for environments where cables may be exposed to mechanical stress such as abrasion, light impact or accidental crushing. The galvanised steel wire braid provides a protective layer around the cable, improving durability compared with standard unscreened or lightly protected flexible cables.
The fine stranded copper conductors ensure reliable electrical performance and flexibility, making the cable suitable for installation in machinery, ducts, trunking and control cabinets. The 3 core configuration supports basic control and monitoring circuits while maintaining a compact and easy to route cable design.
