Substation Control Cable
These are single- or multi-conductor control cables designed for use in trays or substations. They feature insulation made from XLPE, EPR, PE, or PE/PVC, and are protected by jackets made of CPE, PVC, or LSZH. Our cables are suitable for various installations, including cable trays, direct burial, or aerial setups.
Engineered specifically for modern substation environments, Prysmian substation control cables comply with strict ICEA, IEEE, and UL standards. Their durable construction and dependable insulation provide robust mechanical protection and superior electrical integrity, making them ideal for mission-critical infrastructures, such as substations and data centers, where reliable network power cable performance is essential.

Applications
Substation control cables are vital to the safe, efficient operation of substations, which serve as the backbone of reliable power distribution. Substations convert high-voltage power from transmission lines into manageable medium- and low-voltage power for facility networks, ensuring secure, continuous uptime for sensitive data infrastructure such as data centers and communications hubs. Typical applications include:
- Substation network control wiring
- Data center network power cable distribution
- Utility control and monitoring circuits
- Industrial plant power systems
- Remote signaling/control in switching stations
