Instrumentation Cable
The instrumentation cable is a cable used to transmit electrical signals, usually to connect sensors, transmitters, instruments and other devices in instrumentation and control systems. It is composed of multiple fine electrical wires twisted.
The ZMS instrumentation cables have high ability of anti-interference and stability., allowing them to accurately transmit digital and analog signals. This series of products has a wide range of types, including screened cables instrumentation cables and flame retardant cables for instrumentation, among others. They can be used in areas such as industrial automation, instrument control and power systems.

Armored Instrumentation Cable
- Conductor: annealed copper / Tinned copper
- Isolation: PE / XLPE / Small belt
- Apantallamiento: Aluminum Plastic Composite Tape / copper wire/tape
- Armor: Galvanized Steel Wire/ Steel Tape
- External cover: PVC / LSOH
- Operating temperature: 0˚C a +50˚C
- laying temperature: -20˚C a +90˚C
- Minimum radius of curvature: 6xOD
Armored instrumentation cable is mainly used in environments prone to mechanical damage. This type of cable is also commonly used in the interconnection of electrical equipment and instruments in the chemical or petrochemical industry.. The metallic armored cable can be used in outdoor installations, either laid directly on the ground or through conduits.
Flame Retardant Instrumentation Cable
- Conductor: annealed copper
- Isolation: XLPE compound
- Apantallamiento: Aluminum/polyester tape with 0.5mm2 tinned copper wire
- Armor: galvanized steel wire
- Outer covering: Thermoplastic PVC compound that meets fire performance standards (IEC 60332-1, IEC 60332-3, UL 1581, etc.)
- Work temperature: -30°C a +90°C
- installation temperature: -5°C a +50°C
- Minimum radius of curvature: 7.5xOD (no armor), 10xOD (with armor)
The flame retardant instrumentation cable not only has high resistance to interference and stable electrical performance, but also has a safety effect by preventing the spread of fire. Therefore, It is flame retardant cable type widely used in detection and control systems in industries such as power plants, mines and petrochemical industry.

Characteristics of ZMS Instrumentation Cables
Conductor Size and Options
ZMS screened instrumentation cables are available in different conductor sizes, both in copper conductor like aluminum. Copper conductor sizes include 1,0 mm2, 1,5 mm2, 2,5 mm2 y 4,0 mm2. Aluminum conductor sizes include 1,5 mm2, 2,5 mm2, 4,0 mm2 y 6,0 mm2. The most versatile are 4 AWG instrumentation cables.×18, instrumentation cables 2×18 and instrumentation cables 2×16.
Number of Conductors Options
ZMS instrumentation cables are available in different conductor count configurations. Usually, cables with less than 8 conductors usually have a size of 1,5 mm2, while multi-conductor cables with more than 8 conductors usually have a size of 1,0 mm2. For wiring in instrument cabinets, instrumentation cables are available 0,75 mm2.
Mechanical strength
In addition to the ability to conduct electricity, instrumentation cables must also have adequate mechanical resistance. Mechanical resistance determines the durability and ability of the cable to withstand stress and physical stress during installation and use.. The ZMS instrumentation armored cables have a high mechanical resistance.
Low Electric Charge
Instrumentation cables are designed to carry small electrical charges., as instrumentation signals. Therefore, ZMS instrumentation cables are typically relatively thin compared to higher capacity power cables.
Additional Advantages
In addition to the basic features mentioned above, ZMS instrumentation cables can offer other advantages, as a good resistance to electromagnetic interference (EMI), low capacitance and high precision in signal transmission.
