When it comes to industrial automation, machinery wiring or signal control systems, nothing takes more priority than reliability, signal integrity and safety. That’s exactly why our premium 3 core control cable has become the trusted choice for engineers and electricians across sectors. If you’re looking for a control cable that delivers precision, durability and long‑term peace of mind, this is it.

Selecting the right cable for control, signal or automation work can make all the difference. The 3 core control cable stands out for several compelling reasons:
Three conductors: With three individually insulated cores, the 3 core control cable allows you to carry signal, ground and reference or dual signals in one run—making your installation simpler and more cost‑effective.
Robust shield or braid options: Many 3 core control cable versions incorporate a screened or tinned‑copper braid around the cores, protecting against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and ensuring stability of readings and signals. uk.rs-online.com+1
High voltage and temperature performance: A good 3 core control cable will be rated for 300/500 V or higher, and withstand temperatures from ‑40 °C up to +80 °C or more—ideal in harsh environments. superlecdirect.com+1
Easy installation and flexibility: Thanks to fine strand copper conductors, proper insulation and flexible sheaths, our 3 core control cable bends easily, installs cleanly, and holds up under repeated stress.
Compliance with standards: Our cable is manufactured to industry standard specifications (such as CY, SY, YY control cables) and tested for safety and performance. superlecdirect.com
Whether you’re wiring a control panel, installing automation systems, upgrading HVAC interfaces or running a factory line, the right cable matters. The 3 core control cable is designed for exactly that:
Industrial automation: Use it to link sensors, actuators, PLCs and controllers in one simplified run.
Machine tool wiring: Perfect for machine enclosures, control cabinets, conveyor systems where reliable signal transmission is essential.
Building services and switchgear: When integrated systems need signal feed, feedback and ground all in one cable, the 3 core control cable delivers.
Harsh or variable environments: Outdoor, oily, hot or cold spaces are no concern when you choose a quality 3 core control cable rated for the task.
To ensure that your 3 core control cable will perform precisely when you need it, keep an eye on the following attributes:
Core conductor size: Typical sizes are from 0.5 mm² up to 1.5 mm² or more, depending on current and signal requirements. For example, a 0.5 mm² 3 core control cable is used commonly in signal and control tasks. uk.rs-online.com
Insulation and sheathing material: PVC insulation and sheath are common; for more demanding environments, look for XLPE, LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) or oil‑resistant sheaths.
Screening or braiding: A screened 3 core control cable helps significantly reduce EMI, critical in automated settings. uk.rs-online.com+1
Voltage and temperature rating: Confirm it meets at least 300/500 V (or higher for your region) and temperature ranges that cover your installation environment. superlecdirect.com+1
Certification and standard compliance: Ensure the 3 core control cable meets recognized standards for your region (for example BS, IEC, EN). This ensures safe and reliable operation.
Manufacturer reputation and support: Choose a 3 core control cable from a trusted manufacturer that offers technical sheets, test data and after‑sales support.
When you upgrade to a high‑quality 3 core control cable, you’ll notice the difference right away:
Reduced installation time: With three cores already in one cable, you save on conduit runs, handling and labor.
Clearer signals, fewer faults: The shielding and proper design of the 3 core control cable help maintain clean, accurate signals—avoiding erratic behaviour or mis‑reads.
Lower maintenance: With durable insulation, braid protection and a robust sheath, the 3 core control cable stands up to wear and tear, reducing downtime.
Future‑proofing your system: A good 3 core control cable means fewer substitute runs later, easier upgrades and consistent system performance.
When ordering your 3 core control cable, these tips can help:
Calculate your required length – don’t over‑order or under‑order.
Specify the core size – match to your current and signal requirements.
Choose the right sheath and environment rating – indoor vs outdoor, oily environment, moving machinery vs static.
Ask for datasheets and certifications – ensures your 3 core control cable is exactly what you expect.
Work with suppliers who understand control wiring – they’ll help you define the right 3 core control cable spec rather than guess.
