The Pitacs P5SY 5 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, manufacturing equipment, HVAC installations and process control circuits, this cable combines reliable electrical performance with enhanced mechanical protection, making it ideal for installations where cables may be exposed to abrasion, impact or general site wear.
Manufactured using fine stranded Class 5 copper conductors with durable PVC insulation and sheath, the P5SY cable is designed for flexibility and ease of installation in control panels, machinery wiring systems and fixed installations. Its galvanised steel wire braid (SY) provides robust mechanical protection against crushing, abrasion and physical stress while still maintaining flexibility for routing in confined or demanding spaces.
Manufactured to BS EN 50525-2-11 standards, the Pitacs P5SY is intended for indoor use in dry or damp environments and is widely specified in industrial control systems where both signal reliability and mechanical durability are required.

Mechanical Protection for Industrial Environments
The Pitacs P5SY 5 Core SY Control Flex Cable is designed for environments where control cables are subject to mechanical stress such as abrasion, vibration or accidental impact. The galvanised steel wire braid provides a durable protective layer that improves 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 easily in machinery, control cabinets, trunking and conduit systems. The 5 core configuration supports more complex control, monitoring and automation systems, reducing the need for multiple separate cables.
