Industrial Control Cable Assemblies

Industrial Control & Equipment Interconnect Cable Assemblies

Industrial control cables connect PLCs, sensors, displays, cabinets, and equipment interfaces where pinout, shielding, and grounding need to stay consistent. MTTJ builds the assembly to the control drawing or schematic and checks circuit identity, connector seating, labels, and shield termination.

Gray control cable assembly with D-sub style connectors on a white background

D-sub industrial control cable

The cable uses D-sub style connectors for control, display, sensor, or cabinet interfaces. Pinout, shielding, grounding, and labels follow the control drawing.

PLCs, sensors, displays, control cabinets

  • Servo, encoder, and control cabinet connections
  • PLC and machine interface wiring
  • Automation equipment interconnects
  • Display, access control, and power adapter internal wiring
  • Custom equipment cable routing

Signal conductors, shielding, grounding, labels

  • Multi-conductor control cables
  • Shielded cable requirements
  • Connectorized cable ends
  • Labels and wire markers
  • Overmolded strain relief when specified

Control cable, connector choices

  • PVC
  • PU / TPU
  • TPE
  • Specified shielded or unshielded control cable

Control circuit

Use the schematic for pinout and shielding

Connector part numbers, cable type, length, conductor count, shield termination, grounding points, labels, and functional checks should match the equipment schematic.

Signal and control requirementsConductor count, shielding, connector type, and environment set the control cable.
ShieldingThe drawing should show shield type, drain wire, and grounding points.
Connector typeConnector part numbers or accepted equivalents set the mating interface.
Cable routingLength, bend, strain relief, and labels determine the assembly layout.
TestingContinuity, polarity, and functional checks follow the equipment test method.
