Flexible multi-core cable

Multi-conductor cables are, as their name suggests, for multiple use.

What are multi-conductor cables?

The role of cables is to connect two devices using their conductor. Cables are made of insulation and sheaths. The conductor is made of aluminum, copper or silver. These materials easily ensure the passage of electricity from one point to another in the conductor.

Insulators are mainly used to protect conductors. These insulators are the wires colored red, green, yellow and blue. These colors provide additional protection to drivers and also serve as a code. High voltage cables use XLPE and PVC insulation. These protect cables against fire hazards, allowing users to use these devices even in a high heat area. Electrical cables have 3 conductors and therefore have 3 colors: blue, brown and yellow.

Multi-conductor cables, for what use?

Multi-conductor cables are devices intended for vehicle use, in this case private cars and commercial vehicles. These instruments are used for: Air bags, various sensors, Flex-ray type data transmissions, etc.

Beyond the automotive sector, multiconductor cables are also used in the space industry, in armaments, in military electronics, in marine environment cabling, in the audiovisual…

What are the different types of multi-conductor cables?

There are a variety of multiconductor cables on the market according to several criteria:

•          Voltage
•          The number of conductors (2 to 7 conductors)
•          The material used for the cable.
•          The color of the cables
• The radius of curvature
•         The standard: each type of driver follows a very distinct standard. This standard takes the form of a series of letters and numbers that correspond to specific characteristics.
