About this product

Global Control Cables

At Elegar Kerpen, one of the most trusted wires and cables manufacturers in India, our control cables are engineered to meet the demands of modern industrial environments. Built with high-grade insulation, robust sheathing, and excellent flexibility, these cables are suitable for both fixed and flexible installations across a wide range of sectors, from manufacturing floors to building automation systems.

What a control cable does: Control cables are purpose-built electrical cables designed to carry control signals, commands, and low-voltage data between components in an electrical or automated system. They serve as the communication backbone between control panels, machines, and instrumentation, ensuring that every signal is transmitted accurately and without interference.

Use cases

Applications of Control Cables

Designed for precise signal and command transmission across a variety of electrical and industrial setups.

Control Circuit Connections

Linking control units to electrical components for seamless command flow, ensuring every instruction is delivered accurately for reliable, uninterrupted system operation.

Electrical Panels & Switchgear

Internal and external wiring of distribution and control panels, organised, interference-free connectivity for safe switching and efficient power management.

Communication Systems

Signal transmission across structured communication networks. Shielded construction maintains signal clarity even in high-electromagnetic-activity environments.

Machine Tools & Industrial Equipment

Monitoring and operating machinery on production and assembly lines, withstanding continuous mechanical movement without compromising performance.

Automation & Robotic Systems

Precise control in automated processes and robotic applications. Flexible design supports dynamic movement and repeated flexing in robotic arms.

Instrumentation & Measurement

Connecting sensors, meters, and measuring devices to central control units. Built to carry low-level signals with minimal loss for accurate readings.

Lighting Systems (Lower Loads)

Cost-effective and safe solution for low-load lighting circuits across commercial and industrial premises where control signals travel longer distances.

Power Distribution Infrastructure

Regulation and monitoring across power distribution networks, maintaining operational control between distribution points for overall stability.

Free from harmful halogen compounds, reducing toxic gas release and making them safer for enclosed environments.

Long Service Life

Wear-resistant, non-corrosive materials for extended operational life with minimal maintenance requirements.

Anti-Interference Design

Shielded construction (foil, braid, or combination) protects signal integrity in high electromagnetic noise environments.

Flexible & Lightweight

Easy to route and install across complex layouts without compromising performance or signal quality.

Wide Voltage Range

Available up to 1100V, suitable for a broad range of low-tension control applications across all industries.

Multi-Core Configurations

Various core counts and armoured/unarmoured options with different sizes to suit every installation requirement.

Support FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common technical and commercial questions about Elegar Kerpen control cables.

What is the difference between a control cable and a power cable?

Power cables carry high-voltage current to run equipment, while control cables transmit low-voltage signals to monitor, regulate, and operate machinery and systems. As specialised control cable manufacturers, Elegar Kerpen designs cables accordingly for each application.

What voltage grade are Elegar Kerpen control cables available in?

Our control cables are available with a voltage grade of up to 1100V, making them suitable for a wide range of low-tension industrial and commercial applications.

Are Elegar Kerpen cables suitable for outdoor or harsh environments?

Yes. Our cables are designed with robust insulation and sheathing that withstand mechanical stress, moisture, and temperature variations. Armoured variants are available for direct burial, and LSZH options for enclosed spaces.

What does "zero halogen" mean and why does it matter?

Zero halogen means the cable contains no halogen-based compounds. In a fire, this prevents the release of toxic and corrosive gases, critical for safety in enclosed or populated spaces such as tunnels, buildings, and offshore platforms.

Can Elegar Kerpen supply cables in custom specifications?

Yes. We offer control cables in various core counts, insulation types, shielding options, and gauges. Our catalogue features standard options, and we also provide fully customised specifications tailored to your project requirements.

What insulation types are available for your control cables?

Our control cables are available with PVC (Type A and Type C), Polyethylene, and XLPE insulation, offering flexibility in temperature resistance, durability, and application suitability.
