SELECTION CRITERIA

Reliable control signals begin with the right cable specification.

Control and connection cables must align electrical characteristics, signal integrity, shielding, flexibility, installation method and operating conditions with the actual application.

GermanSTS supports the assessment of suitable cable constructions, connection concepts, accessories and project-focused sourcing options.

  1. Electrical and signal requirements

    Voltage, current, signal type, conductor count, cross-section, transmission characteristics and circuit assignment.

  2. Shielding and EMC

    Overall or pair shielding, braids, foils, drain wires, grounding concepts and interference environment.

  3. Mechanical and environmental conditions

    Flexibility, movement, bending radius, temperature, oil, chemicals, UV, moisture and installation protection.

  4. Connection and project framework

    Connectors, terminals, glands, identification, standards, documentation, lengths, quantities and delivery requirements.

PRODUCT SCOPE

Control, signal and connection cables for industrial systems.

The appropriate cable family depends on signal type, electrical load, mechanical conditions, shielding requirements, routing and connection concept.

  1. Control cables

    Multi-core cables for control circuits, machine wiring and electrical equipment.

  2. Signal and sensor cables

    Cables for measured values, sensors, actuators and low-level industrial signals.

  3. Connection cables

    Power, control and signal connections between equipment, components and assemblies.

  4. Shielded cables

    Cable constructions for applications requiring improved EMC performance and interference protection.

  5. Flexible control cables

    Flexible cable types for mobile equipment, machinery and periodically moved installation.

  6. Accessories and termination

    Connectors, glands, terminals, routing, protection, identification and fastening components.

APPLICATION CONTEXTS

Control and connection cabling across industrial equipment.

  • Machinery and plant engineering

  • Automation and control systems

  • Sensors and actuators

  • Control cabinets and electrical equipment

  • Production and handling systems

  • Building and installation technology

TECHNICAL SUPPORT

From signal requirement to suitable cable and connection components.

A complete solution may require alignment between the cable construction, conductor assignment, shielding, connector system, glands, routing, identification and project documentation.

  • Application and circuit assessment
  • Cable construction and alternative review
  • Shielding and EMC clarification
  • Connector and accessory coordination
  • Manufacturer and availability assessment
  • Documentation and delivery alignment

PROJECT PROCESS

From application details to coordinated sourcing.

Selection and sourcing follow the real signal, connection and installation profile — not catalogue labels alone.

  1. 01

    Clarify the application

    Capture signals, electrical values, equipment interfaces, environment and existing references.

  2. 02

    Define the cable specification

    Determine conductor layout, cross-section, shielding, materials, flexibility and connection requirements.

  3. 03

    Assess suitable options

    Review cable families, accessories, alternatives, manufacturers, availability and project constraints.

  4. 04

    Coordinate sourcing and delivery

    Align quantities, cable lengths, documentation, identification, timing and delivery conditions.
