The Pitacs P4SY 4 Core SY Control Flex Cable is a screened and mechanically protected flexible control cable designed for measuring, monitoring and control applications in industrial, commercial and engineering environments. Suitable for machinery, automation systems, HVAC installations, manufacturing equipment and process control circuits, this cable provides reliable signal transmission alongside enhanced mechanical protection, making it ideal for installations where cables may be subject to abrasion, impact or general site wear.
Manufactured with fine stranded Class 5 copper conductors and durable PVC insulation, the P4SY cable is designed for flexibility and ease of installation in control panels, machinery wiring and fixed installations. The key feature of this cable is its galvanised steel wire braid (SY) armour, which provides mechanical protection against crushing, abrasion and physical stress while still allowing a degree of flexibility for routing in confined spaces.
Manufactured to BS EN 50525-2-11 standards, the Pitacs P4SY is intended for indoor use in dry or damp environments and is widely specified where both control signal reliability and mechanical robustness are required.

Mechanical Protection for Demanding Installations
The Pitacs P4SY 4 Core SY Control Flex Cable is designed for environments where cables are exposed to mechanical stress such as abrasion, movement or accidental impact. The galvanised steel wire braid provides a durable protective layer, improving resistance to physical damage compared with standard flexible control cables.
The fine stranded copper conductors ensure excellent flexibility and reliable electrical performance, allowing the cable to be installed in control cabinets, machinery enclosures and trunking systems. The 4 core configuration supports more complex control and monitoring applications, reducing the need for multiple separate cables.
