In industrial automation, power distribution, and control systems, signal integrity and operational safety are non-negotiable. The KVV22 control cable stands as a robust and reliable solution specifically engineered to meet these critical demands. Designed for fixed installation indoors, in cable ducts, and underground, this cable ensures precise transmission of control signals and auxiliary energy in environments where interference, mechanical stress, and moisture are constant concerns. Its construction prioritizes durability, safety, and long-term performance, making it an indispensable component in factories, utility plants, building automation, and infrastructure projects. Professionals specify KVV22 for its proven balance of technical performance and protective design, providing peace of mind in complex control circuits.
The KVV22 cable is built with a multi-layered design that addresses key challenges in industrial settings:
The following tables outline the standard specifications for KVV22 control cables. Custom configurations regarding conductor count and gauge are often available.

The KVV22 control cable is specified for a wide range of fixed installation applications where control circuits require protection. Its armored design makes it unsuitable for frequent flexing or moving applications.
For installation, always adhere to local electrical codes and regulations. The steel armour must be properly earthed (grounded) at both ends to ensure safety and provide effective electromagnetic screening. Use appropriate glands designed for armored cables to maintain the integrity of the seal and earth continuity.
