What is the difference between CY and SY cable?
The CY control cable is used for interference-free transmission. This multi-core is braided with tinned copper wire and the inner sheath protects the control cable, reducing external electromagnetic influences and certain mechanical stresses. The sheath is generally grey. SY is made of galvanized steel wire as a braid.
Does SY cable need to be earthed?
In order for this to be used as a screen, it must be connected to the earthing system. Most manufacturers would recommend the braid be connected to earth as standard.
