Conductor Details

  • Material:

    • Copper: Preferred for its high conductivity and flexibility. Options include bare copper and tinned copper for enhanced corrosion resistance.
    • Aluminum: Sometimes used for cost considerations, though less common in control cables due to its lower conductivity and mechanical properties.

  • Conductor Size:

    • AWG: American Wire Gauge is used for defining wire sizes. Common sizes range from 22 AWG for low-current signals to 10 AWG for higher currents.
    • Cross-Sectional Area: Measured in mm², it specifies the wire’s carrying capacity. Typical sizes range from 0.5 mm² to 6 mm² for control cables.

  • Stranding Configuration:

    • Class 1: Solid conductors for fixed installations.
    • Class 2: Stranded conductors for flexibility in applications requiring bending.
    • Class 5 or 6: Fine-stranded conductors for high flexibility in movable or portable applications.
