Applications
Substation control cables play a vital role in the safe and efficient operation of substations that serve as the backbone for reliable power distribution. Substations convert high voltage power from transmission lines into manageable medium and low voltage power for facility networks, ensuring secure and 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
