GARG PTFE insulated multi-core cables are required mainly for high-reliability and high-temperature interconnections for signal and control applications. GARG offers any number of pairs, triads, quads, coaxial cables etc. combined into one large cable, with or without shielding on individual pairs/triads/quads, as well as with overall shielding. Jackets can be PTFE, or Varnished Fibre Glass (VFG), for high temperature requirements. Since PTFE jackets on large sized multi-core cables are extremely difficult, PVC or PU jackets are sometimes used. We refer to a case where we manufactured a special cable for British Nuclear Energy to control a Nuclear Robotic Arm. This cable had 28 members, some for sensing temperature, some for audio signals, some for video signals, a few for operating the lights inside the reactor, a number of others for activating the motor, and so on. Even though most common cables would not have such a large number of applications in a single construction, it is sufficient to illustrate the varied uses of multi-core cables. |
