Screened Instrumentation Cables for Noisy Environments

Screened Instrumentation Cables for Noisy Environments can be approached as a practical engineering requirement: the component or assembly must suit the equipment, its operating conditions and the way it will be installed. In this application, the priority is protection of sensitive measurement circuits alongside industrial power equipment. AP Technology works with UK and international manufacturers, subcontractors and systems integrators on specialist interconnection requirements.

Applications and engineering considerations

A typical enquiry concerns factory instruments and industrial control. The difficulty is often not identifying a broad product type, but choosing a version that works with the installed equipment, available space and planned production methods. AP Technology lists a broad range of industrial communication and instrumentation cable types including PROFIBUS, PROFINET, CAN Bus, DeviceNet,

Choosing a suitable specification

Key details to confirm include shield arrangement, grounding approach and signal type. Designers should also review the operating environment, connection orientation, service life expectations and the complete mating or cable system. Communication and instrumentation cable is selected around a network or measurement architecture. Confirm the actual protocol, environmental exposure, screening, conductor arrangement, connector type and whether the run is fixed or dynamic.

Supply and technical support from AP Technology

AP Technology supports cables for plant upgrades, machine integration and new automation systems, including custom cable assemblies and specialised cable lengths. Choosing a cable matched to the system reduces avoidable rework during commissioning. At enquiry stage, it helps to provide the equipment manufacturer, intended duty, operating environment and any legacy connector or cable reference. Where the requirement is bespoke, a wiring schedule or drawing is particularly valuable.
