Instrumentation Cables

Bahra Electric produces Instrumentation Cables in accordance with UL 13/UL 2250 Type PLTC/ITC and UL 1277 Type TC.

Instrumentation Cables are multiple conductor cables that convey low energy electrical signals, used for monitoring or controlling electrical power systems and their associated processes.

These cables are used in diverse applications within industrial process manufacturing plants for control, communication, data (analog/digital) and voice transmission signals in industries like Oil & Gas, Petro-Chemicals, Off-Shore Oil Rigs and Cement Factories.
