40-Core 0.1mm² Shielded Cable
When signal integrity fails in a high-density wiring harness, the fault is rarely obvious. Crosstalk bleeds across channels. EMI infiltrates the data line. The result is intermittent data loss that your field engineers can spend days isolating. No operation has budget for that kind of downtime. The 40-Core 0.1mm² Shielded Cable eliminates this exact failure mode. It packs forty discrete signal paths into a single, comprehensively shielded jacket—designed for control systems where space is at a premium but signal clarity is non-negotiable. This means cleaner data transmission, faster commissioning, and fewer callbacks to the job site.
Core Engineering: Why Signal Integrity Holds Up
40-Strand 0.1mm² Conductors in a Single Sheath
The conductor array uses 40 individually insulated strands, each at 0.1mm² cross-section. Fine-gauge stranded copper maintains flexibility during routing through cable trays or articulated drag chains. The small cross-section directly reduces overall cable diameter and bend radius. For your panel builders, this translates to higher packing density inside control cabinets—fewer cables to route, fewer cable glands to specify, and a cleaner bill of materials.
Full-Coverage Braided Shield
A tinned copper braid wraps the entire core bundle, achieving optical coverage above 85%. Unlike foil-only designs, this braid is mechanically resilient. It withstands repeated flexing without developing micro-cracks that degrade shielding performance over time. In a factory floor environment saturated with VFD noise, this prevents false triggering of sensor inputs. Your PLC reads clean signals, actuators fire when they’re supposed to, and production cycles don’t stall out due to ghost signals.
Numbered Cores for Instant Identification
Each of the 40 conductors carries a printed numerical legend along its insulation. No guesswork. No ringing out cables with a multimeter. Termination errors during panel assembly drop significantly because the installer matches the number to the terminal strip schematic without cross-referencing color codes. On a complex marshalling cabinet with hundreds of terminations, this single feature cuts wiring time and error-proofs the process.
Flame-Retardant PVC Jacket
The outer jacket compound meets vertical flame propagation resistance standards. If a fire breaks out in the cable pathway, the jacket self-extinguishes rather than acting like a wick that carries the flame between floors or compartments. Facility safety managers care about this. So do the insurers reviewing your installation compliance. This material choice supports code-compliant installations without adding the cost of plenum-rated alternatives.

Where This Cable Is Deployed
- Industrial Automation & Process Control. Connecting sensor arrays to PLC I/O modules where 40 signals must travel through one conduit. The shielding prevents VFD-induced noise from corrupting 4–20mA analog signals.
- CNC Machinery & Robotics. Routing from the control cabinet to servo drives and feedback encoders. High-flex performance means it survives the constant articulation inside a robot arm.
- Test & Measurement Racks. Linking data acquisition cards to distributed sensor points inside environmental chambers. Numbered cores speed up validation and recalibration routines.
- Broadcast & Audio Engineering. Carrying balanced line-level signals over short-to-medium distances in OB trucks or recording studios. The braided shield rejects the radio-frequency interference common in metropolitan tower environments.
- Renewable Energy Monitoring. Collecting low-voltage signals from pyranometers, anemometers, and temperature sensors on solar farms or wind turbines. Shield integrity prevents data corruption from nearby generator switching noise.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you supply a cable with the same shielding construction but a different core count or cross-section?
Yes. The 40 × 0.1mm² configuration is our stock variant for high-density signal applications, but we manufacture a family of multi-core shielded cables. Options include core counts from 2 to 60 and conductor sizes from 0.08mm² to 2.5mm², available with the same braided shield architecture. Let your procurement contact know the target signal type, cable run length, and mechanical environment. We will propose a configuration that balances performance with material cost.
What’s the typical lead time for a bulk order, and do you hold buffer stock?
Standard lead time is 3–4 weeks from order confirmation for volumes up to 10,000 meters, depending on the jacket compound selection. For repeat customers with rolling forecasts, we maintain a safety stock program—pre-slit, pre-tested, and held in our bonded warehouse. This pulls lead times down to 5–7 working days for most repeat SKUs. Ask your account manager if your volume qualifies for consignment stock arrangements.
We have an installation in a high-humidity region. Does this cable require additional protection?
The standard PVC jacket handles relative humidity up to 95%, non-condensing, at temperatures within its rated range. For direct burial, continuous water immersion, or chemical-heavy environments, we recommend a PUR (polyurethane) jacket variant. PUR adds mechanical toughness and hydrolysis resistance without sacrificing the braided shield’s EMI performance. Any moisture ingress risk—tell us early. We specify the jacket accordingly and avoid expensive field failures.
Request a Specification Data Sheet & Quotation
Every project has one parameter that cannot be compromised. Tell us what that parameter is. Whether it’s the exact outer diameter for a retrofit, a custom jacket color for zone identification, or a full Type Test report for the tender submission—we address the constraint before we propose the part number.
