Short answer: how to specify Sensor & Actuator Cable
Specify sensor and actuator cable from the installation route, device environment and noise risk. PVC can fit protected standard wiring, while PUR and shielded constructions should be reviewed for oil, abrasion, repeated handling, motors, drives and inverter-adjacent routes.
3Main ZION product directions for this solution.
PVCFor protected and standard machine wiring routes.
PURFor tougher machine-side environments.
BOMBetter for project quotation than vague cable descriptions.
Selection Guide
Choose cable direction by project condition
| Project Condition | Recommended Direction | Why It Matters | Information to Confirm |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protected indoor sensor route | PVC Sensor & Actuator Cable | Cost-effective choice for standard machine wiring where the route is relatively stable. | Device type, conductor count, conductor size, length and jacket color. |
| Machine-side route with oil or abrasion | PUR Sensor & Actuator Cable | PUR jacket is commonly reviewed when the route is exposed to tougher industrial handling. | Oil exposure, movement condition, bend radius and cable carrier use. |
| Signal route near motors or drives | Shielded PUR Sensor & Actuator Cable | Shielding helps reduce interference risk for sensitive signal wiring. | Route separation, grounding method, shield termination and device wiring plan. |
| Valve, actuator or I/O module wiring | Multi-core sensor actuator cable | Keeps control, power and feedback wiring organized in one machine-side cable route. | Core count, voltage, current, cable OD and termination method. |
| Maintenance replacement | Match existing cable marking | Reduces mismatch risk and shortens machine downtime during replacement. | Old cable photo, marking, length, connector or gland plan and required quantity. |

Risk Control
Risks to check before issuing the purchase order
Wrong jacket choice PVC may not be suitable for routes with oil, abrasion, repeated handling or tougher machine movement.
Signal interference Unshielded cable near drives or power wiring may cause unstable sensor feedback.
Length and packing mismatch Sensor wiring often uses many short lengths, so route-based packing and labeling can reduce waste.
Termination mismatch Cable OD, conductor count and conductor size should match the connector, gland or terminal plan.

FAQ
FAQ: practical questions before industrial cable RFQ
When should PUR sensor cable be selected?
PUR should be reviewed when the cable route may face oil, abrasion, repeated handling, machine movement or tougher industrial environments.
When is shielded sensor cable needed?
Shielded construction is recommended for noise-sensitive signal circuits or routes near motors, drives, inverters and power cables.
Can PVC cable be used in all machine routes?
No. PVC is suitable for protected standard routes, but tougher machine areas may require PUR depending on oil exposure, abrasion and movement.
What information is needed for quotation?
Send conductor count, conductor size, jacket material, shield requirement, route length, movement condition, quantity, packing length and connector or gland plan.
Can ZION support custom marking and packing?
Yes. Custom marking, jacket color, reel length, carton label, drum packing and OEM/ODM requirements can be discussed after confirming the specification and quantity.
Can samples be requested before bulk order?
Yes. Samples can be discussed after confirming cable type, conductor size, jacket, shield, marking, packing and target application.
What should be checked before installation?
Check cable marking, route separation, bend radius, pulling condition, termination compatibility, shield grounding and document approval before installation.
