SY cable, also known as shielded flex or armoured flex, is a strong and durable control cable suitable for internal dry, damp or wet environments (including oil-water mixtures). It is manufactured generally in accordance with DIN VDE 0250.

The clear oversheath of the Veriflex SY PVC cable allows the visual detection of any signs of deterioration, damage or corrosion.

The black sheathed variant can be used outdoors when protected against direct sunlight.

The Veriflex SY PVC cable is widely used in industrial applications as an interconnecting cables in control equipment or machines. As a flexible instrumentation cable, it can be used in installations where free movement is required without tensile stresses and without forced guidance systems.

They have a voltage rating of 300/500V unless otherwise specified. A variant offering power and control at 0.6/1kV is available.

The galvanised steel wire braid (GSWB) provides mechanical strength - where EMC protection is required, the CY cable with its copper wire braid may be more appropriate

These cables are also commonly referenced by a constructional nomenclature.

Available as a multicore cable, the SY 2-core has black numbered cores as standard, whilst 3 cores and above is black numbered cores with a green/yellow earth core.

Coloured cores with or without green/yellow are also available upon request.

With the SY cable part of our proprietary Veriflex brand, we can offer extensive technical and specification support for projects. This includes supporting use on installations compliant with BS7671 Wiring regulations.

For applications intended for export to the North American market, a grey oversheath SY flex cable with UL and CSA approval can be quoted and supplied.
