Protecting signals from electro magnetic interference (EMI) or reducing electro magnetic radiation (EMR) from supply cables has substantially increased the need for screened multi-core cables. Fine copper wire strands insulated with PVC and combined with pliable oil resistant PVC inner and outer sheaths ensure excellent flexibility, whilst the tinned copper wire braid forms an effective screen. Clear white numbering on black cores enable fast "right first time" termination, vital when working with large numbers of cores or under artificial lighting which may distort core colours. CY has many uses including general wiring in machine tool applications especially in conjunction with PLC or microprocessor controlled manufacturing operations where signal interference could cause major problems.

Also used as a supply cable where circumstances result in power and data cables being run in close proximity to each other. In these cases EMR can be significantly reduced.

Colour coded versions are also offered as are cables with a grey outer sheath or without the inner sheath (type - LiYCY) when space or weight restrictions apply. A 600/1000V grade is now available in some sizes.
