The Pitacs P5YY 5 Core YY Control Flex Cable is a flexible multi-core control and instrumentation cable designed for low voltage control applications across industrial, commercial and building services environments. Suitable for control panels, HVAC systems, automation equipment, machinery wiring and general electrical installations, this cable is intended for use in fixed or protected installations where screening or mechanical armouring is not required. It provides a practical and cost effective solution for multi-core control wiring in dry and lightly damp conditions.
Manufactured using fine stranded Class 5 copper conductors with PVC insulation and a durable PVC outer sheath, the P5YY cable offers excellent flexibility and ease of installation in confined spaces such as control panels, ducts and equipment enclosures. The 5 core configuration supports more complex control and monitoring applications within a single cable, helping to simplify wiring layouts and reduce installation time.
Manufactured to BS EN 50525-2-11 standards, the Pitacs P5YY is part of the YY control cable range designed for general-purpose control and instrumentation circuits where reliable electrical performance and straightforward installation are key requirements.
