Cables may seem like simple wires, but in reality, they are the foundation of modern infrastructure. From transmitting electricity to enabling communication networks, every industry relies on specialized cables. Choosing the wrong cable can lead to inefficiency, safety hazards, or even equipment failure.
At Neskeb, we manufacture a wide range of industrial cables designed for different applications. Let’s explore the main types of industrial cables and where they are used.
1. Power Cables
Power cables are the most common type, designed to transmit electricity from one point to another. They are found in homes, factories, commercial complexes, and utility networks.
- Low-Voltage Power Cables – Used in residential and office spaces.
- Medium-Voltage Power Cables – Common in industrial plants and local grids.
- High-Voltage Power Cables – Suitable for power stations and long-distance transmission.
✅ Application: Power distribution, electrical panels, renewable energy projects.
2. Control Cables
Control cables are used to regulate and manage equipment. They are typically multi-core cables that transmit signals to operate machines or automation systems.
- Flexible Design – Can handle frequent bending.
- Durable Insulation – Protects against oil, heat, and mechanical stress.
- Signal Accuracy – Ensures precise communication between control systems.
✅ Application: Robotics, assembly lines, conveyor belts, and automation systems.
3. Instrumentation Cables
Instrumentation cables carry low-voltage signals for monitoring and controlling sensitive equipment.
- Shielded Designs – Reduce electrical interference.
- Fire-Resistant Options – Enhance safety in critical environments.
✅ Application: Petrochemical plants, refineries, power plants, and laboratories.
4. Data & Networking Cables
In today’s digital era, data cables are as important as power cables.
- Coaxial Cables – Used in CCTV, broadcasting, and communication systems.
- Ethernet Cables (Cat5, Cat6, Cat7) – Enable internet and networking.
- Fiber Optic Cables – Ultra-fast data transmission across long distances.
✅ Application: IT infrastructure, telecom, offices, smart cities.
5. Specialty Cables
Specialty cables are designed for specific environments where standard cables cannot perform.
- Fire-Resistant Cables – Maintain power supply during fire.
- Heat-Resistant Cables – Withstand extreme temperatures.
- Marine & Offshore Cables – Resistant to water, oil, and salt.
✅ Application: Aerospace, defense, oil rigs, chemical industries.
Conclusion
Every project requires a different type of cable. Using the right cable not only ensures safety but also enhances efficiency and reliability. At Neskeb, we manufacture a complete range of power, control, data, and specialty cables that meet global standards.
