RS PRO SY Control Cable, 4 Cores, 4 mm², Screened, Transparent Polyvinyl Chloride Sheath, 50 m Reel 196-4710

The RS PRO SY control cable model 196-4710 is a high-quality, screened multicore cable designed to deliver exceptional performance in industrial, automation, and commercial environments. Featuring 4 cores with a cross-sectional area of 4 mm² each, the cable excels in managing electrical flow in complex set-ups where reliability and protection against external interference are paramount.

This cable is constructed with stranded annealed copper conductors for superior flexibility and conductivity. Its screening consists of galvanised steel wire braid (GSWB), which not only strengthens the cable mechanically but also enhances resistance to electromagnetic interference. The transparent polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheath enables easy inspection, allowing visible checks for connection integrity without needing to dismantle the cable.

The thick, layered configuration and armoured construction make the RS PRO SY cable capable of withstanding challenging warehouse and production conditions, including dampness and excessive dryness. Operating temperatures range from -15°C to +70°C, supporting installation in demanding environments. The multicore cable shape and minimum bend radius of six times the diameter allow for flexible installation routes and secure fitting around corners or machinery.

Conforming to BS EN 50525 standards, the cable meets recognized safety and quality requirements for control cables used in automation systems, industrial equipment, and production lines. The 50 metre reel ensures sufficient cable length for major projects, whilst the outer diameter of 14 mm provides robust insulation and mechanical protection for long-term reliability.

Applications include industrial automation systems, machine controls, process instrumentation, warehouse installation, production lines, and electrical control panels where screened multicore cables are essential for stable, interference-free operation.

Key features such as armouring, PVC insulation, screened construction, stranded copper conductors, and an earth wire enhance operational safety and installation flexibility. The zinc layer over the GSWB further boosts decay resistance, providing additional longevity for the cable in demanding industrial environments.
