RS Pro Screened Multicore Cable - Core Strands 7/0.2mm
From RS Pro, a range of multicore cables suitable for various applications. A cable which has a multicore is a great addition in environments where cable connections require a neatly organised layout. If an area doesn't have much space, or is fully visible to customers/public, multicore cable considerably reduces tripping hazards and improves the overall appearance of electrical equipment. All models are highly reliable and excellent quality.
Features and Benefits
• 7/0.2 mm core strands
• Various lengths
• Bend radius will be 8 x outer diameter
• Core/Screen capacitance (nominal) 95pF/m
• Black PVC sheath
• Tinned copper braid
What kind of protection do these cables have?
If safety and reliability is of paramount importance to your application, these screened cables can ensure complete confidence with that situation. Each cable is fully insulated within a black PVC sheath, fully protecting it from the elements. Within the PVC cover itself, the multicores are protected by a tinned copper braid, ensuring that any damage to the cable from everyday activities will be non existent.
Who uses multi-core cable?
Due to the excellent conductor which copper makes, multicore cable has a huge variety of uses. The entertainment industry are common users of multicore cable for audio purposes. Commonly named within that application as a 'snake cable', mixers and various other audio equipment can essentially have one cable linked up to the device. As opposed to having varying wires running across the floor.
What is multi core cable used for?
It's impossible to list the entirety of usefulness this type of cable can provide, but as an example, some of the types of applications would be:
• Entertainment and audio industry
• Machines and factory control equipment
• Large control pads
• DIN-Rail terminals
• Conveyor belts
What is multicore industrial cable?
Multicore cable is a type of electrical cable which includes more cores than a standard power or coaxial cable. They can be supplied in various lengths and the number of cores can vary significantly. Commonly used within industrial or entertainment applications, they can keep otherwise messy and disorganised cable connections tidy. The name is self descriptive, in the sense that they would be able to house cores from various types of electrical cable into one sheath, such as coaxial and power. Due to the layout and coloured cores from these RS Pro PVC cables, installation is easy and efficient.
Warning
Please be aware, although these cables are electrical, they are not to be regarded as power cables, or cables for the direct connection of equipment to mains power supplies.
How flexible is this multicore cable?
The bend radius is measured by the outer diameter of the cable, multiplied by 8.

Screened Cable
What is screened cable?
Screened cable also known as shielded cable is an electrical cable of one or more insulated conductors enclosed by a common conductive layer. It is used to reduce the effect of electromagnetic interference (EMI) or electrical noise which can disrupt the transmission performance in some environments.
What are the benefits of screened cable?
• Helps keep your signal inside and keep unwanted signals out
• Minimizes coupled noises from other electrical sources
• This RS Pro 4 core screened cable is highly conductive stranded PVC insulated tinned copper wire and comes in black colour of sheath
• Resistance per core is 92Ω/km
• Standards : DEF STAN 61.12 parts 4 and 5, IEC60332-1
• Defence Standard 61-12, Parts 4 and 5; NBN EN ISO 9001; OP-QAO-003; OP-QIO-504; KI-QIO-616
How to use screened cable?
The best way to wire shielded cable for screening is to ground the shield at both ends of the cable. The rule of thumb can be applied to ground the shield at one end only to avoid ground loops.
Where can this cable be used?
• Suitable as interconnection between and within instruments and electrical equipment such as data transmission and process control
• Security systems – protection from power frequency and radio frequency interference, reducing the number of false alarms being generated
