Leading manufacturers of industrial cables
In the harshest industrial environments, strong, flexible and durable industrial cables are needed for optimal operational efficiency. Industrial cables are commonly used for power transmission, communication and networking, ensuring reliable signal integrity and data transfer for a wide range of sectors.
Due to the nature of the environment they operate in, industrial cables must be built to withstand the harshest and most demanding conditions. These cables need to be resistant to water, oil, extreme temperatures and temperature fluctuations, exposure to chemicals, continuous motion, and intense physical handling. As such, industrial cables display characteristics like extreme tensile strength, flexibility and durability, which can be enhanced through the application of hard-wearing cable sheathing materials like PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), HDPE (High density Polyethylene) and PUR (Polyurethane).

Industrial cable types and uses
Thanks to these characteristics, different types of industrial cables are suitable for use across a wide range of sectors and applications. These various industrial cable types include:
- Industrial power cables
- Industrial instrumentation cables
- Industrial automation cables
- Industrial data cables
- Industrial control cables
- Industrial flexible cables
- Industrial electrical cables
- Industrial network cables
- Industrial coaxial cables
As you can see, pretty much any type of cable can be custom-made or modified for industrial use, which will involve the application of more robust cable sheathing (as mentioned above) or cable armouring. The many industrial cable types listed above can be found across a wide range of industrial facilities, environments and applications, including:
- Industrial robotics
- Production facilities
- Power generation
- Marine and offshore
- Petrochemical production
- Natural gas production
- Equipment monitoring in industrial plants
- … And much more!
Now, let’s take a closer look at the many uses and applications of industrial wiring and cables:
Production facilities
Industrial electrical wiring and industrial cables are a key feature in all kinds of production facilities. Industrial control cables, industrial power cables, and industrial data cables control essential operations such as power and data transmission throughout these environments, transmitting reliable signals to power, control and measure equipment situated in harsh industrial conditions.
In addition, industrial automation cables control automated equipment on production lines, and industrial instrumentation cables carry signals between equipment in these facilities to ensure processing operations are effectively controlled. Cables for industrial automation, electrical power, data transmission and more will be used for a huge range of functions around a facility, such as to control conveyors, transport equipment, carry signals, ensure adequate power supply and so on. No matter their function, their robust cable sheathing and armouring will protect them against harsh handling and exposure to extreme temperatures and corrosive substances, making sure that electrical power and vital control signals are transmitted consistently and reliably to maintain precision and productivity standards.
Marine and offshore
Due to the extreme conditions in marine and offshore environments (such as offshore oil rigs), heavy-duty industrial cables are needed to carry power and signals reliably and safely. These industrial cables are designed to withstand saltwater, chemicals, extreme temperatures, oil and debris, making them ideal for use in this sector.
Similarly, robust industrial cables that are both waterproof and flame-retardant are needed in marine-adjacent environments like dockyards. Industrial cables that can withstand extreme mechanical stress will also be used for crane systems in these shipbuilding environments.
Robotics
The cables used in industrial robotics are subjected to continuous motion and intense flexing, which can lead to abrasion and damage. To address this issue, heavy-duty industrial cables (often with low-friction cable shielding) are needed. These cables are designed to withstand the toughest conditions and demands, meaning they can ensure proper data transmission and signal integrity for much longer.
Railways
Industrial cables used in the transportation industry must be extremely durable and long-lasting to ensure the safety of passengers and the long-term profitability of the sector. In addition, due to the enhanced fire risks on railways, these industrial cables must be designed with flame-retardant properties. For example, armoured LSZH cables (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) can be used to minimise the risk of toxic smoke being produced in the unlikely event of a fire.
