A 100m reel of Elumen8 SY 5-core 16mm² armoured flexible control cable. Galvanised steel wire braid (SWB) armouring sits beneath a transparent PVC outer jacket, giving excellent mechanical protection where the cable interconnects fixed and moving equipment — conveyors, production lines, machine tools and similar industrial runs. Also widely used by electricians for fixed installations exposed to light mechanical stress.
SY cable is best suited to indoor conditions. It can be used outdoors but should be protected — SY is not a direct UV / weather-rated cable and the steel braid is not a primary earth conductor.

SY is a control / interconnect cable. The steel wire braid provides mechanical protection and EMC screening but is not classified as a primary protective conductor — a separate CPC inside the cable should be used for earthing in accordance with BS 7671.
