4 Core Shielded Cable – 14/0.20mm

$3.75 Inc. GST

This shielded multi-core cable is intended for low-voltage signal and control wiring in industrial and commercial systems. The stranded copper conductors provide flexibility for panel and conduit installation, while the overall screen reduces electromagnetic interference from adjacent power circuits and rotating machinery. It is typically used for interconnection of sensors, switches, PLC inputs and outputs, instrumentation circuits, and control devices within equipment such as CNC machines, control panels, and building management systems.

NOTE:

Sold by the meter. If you order 5 meters, you will receive one 5-meter length.
Colours of internal and external wires are subject to change.

Description

Technical Overview

This 4 Core Shielded Cable – 14/0.20mm is designed for low-voltage signal and control applications where stable transmission and interference protection are required. The stranded copper conductors provide flexibility for routing within panels, conduits, and equipment enclosures, while the overall shielding reduces the impact of electromagnetic interference and external noise.

It functions as a reliable interconnection medium between control devices, sensors, audio components, and instrumentation circuits. Within a system, it maintains signal integrity between source and destination equipment, supporting consistent communication and coordinated operation in industrial, commercial, and security installations.

Applications

This 4 Core Shielded Cable – 14/0.20mm is commonly used in CNC machines for interconnecting control components within the electrical cabinet, such as wiring limit switches, proximity sensors, control buttons, relays, and PLC I/O modules. The shielding helps reduce electrical noise generated by spindle drives, stepper motor drivers, and variable frequency drives, protecting low-voltage control and feedback signals from interference.

It is also suitable for routing signal lines between machine sub-assemblies, including tool changers, safety interlocks, and encoder interfaces. The stranded conductors allow flexible installation through drag chains, conduits, and confined panel spaces, supporting organized and serviceable wiring layouts inside CNC control systems.

Maker Store Tips and Tricks

Keep signal cables separated from high-voltage motor and spindle power cables where possible to further reduce electrical noise.
Ground the cable shield at one end only (typically at the control panel) to help prevent ground loop interference.
Use proper cable glands or strain relief fittings when entering CNC control cabinets to prevent mechanical stress on terminations.
Label each core during installation to simplify troubleshooting and future maintenance.
Avoid tight bend radii when routing through drag chains to reduce conductor fatigue over time.
