50-Core 0.1mm² Shielded Twisted Pair Cable
Signal failure in a multi-axis control system isn’t an inconvenience. It’s a halted production line, a missed shipment deadline, and thousands in wasted overhead. The 50-Core 0.1mm² Shielded Twisted Pair Cable is engineered to prevent this. By combining a dense 50-core configuration with a high-coverage overall shield, it establishes clean data transmission in tight physical spaces—reducing equipment footprint and simplifying complex cable routing for OEMs and system integrators.
High-Density 50-Core Configuration
0.1mm² conductors, numbered cores, single overall jacket.
Running fifty separate control cables is expensive and slow to install. We bundle fifty twisted pairs into one compact outer sheath. Your technicians pull one cable instead of fifty. Direct labor costs drop. Cabinet clutter disappears. Assembly time per panel decreases measurably. For a large automation project, this translates to completing installations days ahead of schedule with far fewer termination errors.
Overall Copper Braid Shield
Braided tinned copper shielding with 85% minimum coverage.
Unshielded signal bundles act as antennas in environments saturated with VFD noise and motor harmonics. The overall copper braid sinks this electromagnetic interference to ground before it can superimpose on your 4-20mA or RS-485 signals. The result is data integrity you can trust for sensor feedback loops. A missed pulse doesn’t trigger an emergency stop. A distorted analog value doesn’t scrap a batch of high-value product.
Stranded 0.1mm² Bare Copper Conductors
Flexible stranding designed for routing through drag chains and tight conduits.
Solid cores work-harden, crack, and fail when subjected to constant low-amplitude vibration or re-routing. Our fine-stranded conductors maintain their mechanical integrity under these conditions. This matters in robotic work cells. It matters on the underside of a vibrating conveyor. You ship a machine that stays online for its entire warranty period—and well beyond.
OEM-Ready Cut-to-Length Supply
Factory-direct service, no fixed spool sizes imposed.
Your bill of materials doesn’t tolerate excessive scrap rates or inventory holding costs. We ship the exact meterage you need, terminated or unterminated, to your production schedule. This eliminates on-site cutting time and reduces plastic waste. Your procurement team sees a single line item on the PO, not a complex supply chain of multiple individual pairs.

Validated Application Environments
- Multi-Axis CNC Transfer Lines. Routes encoder feedback, limit switch signals, and actuator supply through a single flexible track cable carrier. Reduces carrier weight and bend radius constraints compared to fifty individual wires.
- Process Plant DCS I/O Marshalling. Connects field junction boxes to control system I/O cards. A single pull handles 50 discrete signals along gated cable trays. Field termination time drops by over 60% versus individual pair wiring.
- Wind Turbine Nacelle Pitch Systems. Endures constant twisting inside the nacelle cable loop. The stranded 0.1mm² design resists conductor fatigue where the nacelle yaws to face changing wind directions, preventing pitch encoder signal loss.
- Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (ASRS). Carries photoelectric sensor and barcode reader data along the vertical mast of shuttle systems. High flex life ensures consistent read accuracy across millions of pick cycles.
- Test & Measurement Racks. Used in ATE (Automated Test Equipment) where 50 signals must bridge between a bed-of-nails fixture and a switching matrix. The overall shield preserves low-level measurement accuracy by blocking stray RF from nearby contactors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this cable carry power for small DC actuators on its 0.1mm² cores, or is it strictly for signals?
Each core is rated for a continuous current of approximately 1.0 A at 30°C ambient, based on the 0.1mm² cross-section. This is enough to drive low-wattage solenoids, indicator lamps, or piezo valves. For anything drawing inrush current above that threshold, use dedicated power conductors. Derating applies if all 50 cores are loaded simultaneously inside a tightly packed trunking — factor 0.6 is a safe starting point for thermal calculations.
Why choose an overall braid shield instead of individually shielded pairs?
Weight, outer diameter, and cost. An overall braid keeps the finished cable diameter below roughly 12 mm, where individual foil shields on 25 pairs would push it past 18 mm and add significant material cost. The overall design works when all 50 cores travel a common path with similar signal levels. If you’re mixing high-sensitivity thermocouple runs with 24V PWM motor signals in the same jacket, individual pair shielding becomes necessary to prevent intra-cable crosstalk. We supply both configurations.
What is a realistic lead time for a custom length with an LSZH outer jacket for an EU project?
Stock PVC-jacketed cable ships in 3 working days for standard meter marks. For LSZH jacketing specifically, allow 12–15 working days. This includes jacket extrusion, continuous spark testing, and the 48-hour accelerated curing check. We hold LSZH compound in house; the lead time is production scheduling, not raw material procurement. Orders above 3,000 meters benefit from priority scheduling at no extra cost.
