• Security alarms, cameras and sensors

What's the difference between a control cable and instrumentation cable?

People often use the term 'instrumentation cable' to refer to a control cable. However, instrument cables are designed for low-voltage analogue or digital applications, while control cables can handle any voltage and are used for equipment outputs (like starting or stopping) and status monitoring.
