Uses for agricultural cables
Agriculture cables are generally resistant to weather, water, abrasion, mechanical damage, and various agricultural chemicals. Here are just some of the many uses of agricultural cables for day-to-day business operations:
- Irrigation systems
- Pumps
- Harvesting equipment
- Sensors
- Power/data/fluid combinations (delivered by multicore cables)
- Retractable power leads and coiled cables for moving components
- Bespoke agricultural systems
- … And much more!
In addition to the need for durable, water-resistant, chemical-resistant and UV-resistant electrical cables to deliver power to agricultural equipment in harsh outdoor conditions, many varieties of agriculture wire will be required for a range of applications, including fruit growing, wire fencing, binding bales and supporting crops. These agricultural wires and cables must be flexible and lightweight enough for easier handling and installation, whilst also being durable enough to withstand harsh weather conditions and chemicals such as fertilisers and pesticides. This is why you need custom-made agriculture wire and cabling that’s designed, manufactured and tested according to the exact environment it will be used in.
Cable manufacturing for irrigation water supply
A system known as irrigation is what supplies water to crop fields. In electrical systems, the wires and cables employed must be designed and manufactured for reliability, durability and longevity. They must also be oil, chemical and UV-resistant – particularly if exposed to the elements.
Sensors
Sensor cables are used within industrial automation for control of specific applications. They are used to send signals to communicate across networks and safely deliver data and power between devices.

Frequently asked questions
What is an agriculture cable?
The term ‘agriculture cable’ or ‘agriculture wire’ refers to any cable used within the agricultural industry. This can include electrical cables that power agricultural machinery, such as crop harvesters, pumps and irrigation systems, in addition to flexible yet durable agricultural wire for fencing, bale binding and crop support applications.
What are the challenges of agriculture wire and cabling?
Agricultural cables are exposed to many environmental stressors, including UV rays, moisture, chemicals and rough handling, which means they must be durable enough to withstand these factors and not need frequent replacement or maintenance, as this would be very expensive and time-consuming. However, at the same time, it’s essential that agriculture cables are also flexible and lightweight, allowing for easier installation and use alongside moving machinery components. As a result, bespoke cable solutions are often required to fulfil these desired specifications, such as specially designed coiled cables for powering moving machinery and lightweight armoured cables made with a flexible braided wire layer.
