Leading manufacturers of resistant cables for automation
Automated machinery promises to make our lives easier. From production lines to warehouse settings, the industrial automation cable market exists to support a wide variety of industries to speed up communication and maximise production efficiency.
However, faults with these automated systems can cause costly downtime. Industrial automation cables are vital for keeping automated systems running, ensuring operational reliability.
Polyurethane (PUR) sheathed cables
For use in environments with strict hygiene standards, such as the food and beverage industry and medical industry, the PUR sheathed data cables market has boomed. The antimicrobial resistant sheathing material prevents the spread of bacteria, thus ensuring sites meet stringent health and safety codes. Therefore, PUR sheathed control and automation cables, whilst being extremely flexible, are common practise across various industries.
Other automation cables can include:
- Industrial control cables
- Flexible data cables
- CY, SY & YY cables
- Motor connection cables
- Polyurethane (PUR) cables

Uses for the industrial automation cable market
Industrial automation cables are required to transmit data and allow communication with automated equipment, enabling this machinery to be programmed and controlled remotely. As such, automation cables are primarily designed to carry signals between two locations. For example, data can be transmitted from an office environment to an industrial setting to control machinery on production lines.
Thanks to the widespread adoption of automated technologies, custom automation cables are now commonplace in a variety of industries, primarily surrounding manufacturing and assembly.
Here are just a few examples of where you can find industrial automation cables:
Warehouses
One of the most common places where you’ll find resistant cables for automation is warehouse environments. This is because automated machinery is increasingly used in warehousing settings, such as for the transportation of goods. When properly programmed and serviced, this machinery can greatly increase operational efficiency and maximise profits.
Pharmaceutical
Another common setting for automation cables is within bespoke pharmaceutical automation machinery. These automated machines (constructed with industrial automation cables) are used for assembly, picking and transportation in laboratory and warehouse environments.
Food and beverage
Automation has greatly improved production speed and operational reliability within the food and beverage industry. This success is reliant upon the effective data transmission facilitated by industrial automation cables.

Frequently asked questions
Why are resistant cables important in the automation industry?
Resistant cables are crucial to the operational running of any industry relying on automation. This is because they are durable, ensuring longevity and reliable performance in harsh conditions, safe, thus reducing the risk of failure, and efficient, by maintaining consistent signal integrity and power delivery.
What types of resistances can industrial automation cables provide?
Industrial automation cables are manufactured, or can be custom designed, to meet a wide range of environmental resistance, including:
- Temperature resistance: Can handle extreme hot or cold conditions.
- Chemical resistance: Withstand exposure to oils, acids, alkalis, and other chemicals.
- Abrasion resistance: Protect against wear and tear from constant movement or rough surfaces.
- UV and weather resistance: Suitable for outdoor use, resisting damage from sunlight and weather conditions.
- Flame retardant: Prevent the spread of fire in case of an incident.
- Water and moisture resistance: Suitable for environments with high humidity or direct water contact.
How are industrial automation cables different from standard cables?
Custom resistant and industrial automation cables are tailored to specific industrial needs, offering enhanced protection against the elements they are likely to encounter. Standard cables may not provide the necessary durability or safety features required for industrial automation.
