Communication and Control Cables

At Oron Special Cables, we believe that clarity, control, and continuity are the lifelines of modern industry. Whether we’re powering a robotic assembly line, managing HVAC systems in a commercial tower, or enabling remote data monitoring on a vessel, the performance of communication and control cables plays a pivotal role in the outcome.

These cables don’t carry power – they carry intelligence. They transmit signals, deliver commands, synchronize components, and ensure systems work in harmony. And when even a small glitch can lead to large-scale disruption, choosing the right communication or control cable becomes mission-critical.

In this article, I’d like to share how we support clients across industrial sectors with specialized cable solutions for communication, instrumentation, fieldbus systems, and more – always tailored to the application.

The Backbone of Industrial Automation: Instrumentation and Control Cables

We serve a wide range of industries – from energy and manufacturing to building automation and infrastructure – where instrumentation cables are used to connect sensors, transmit analog and digital signals, and control actuators.

Our inventory includes:

• Bulk instrument cable – Ideal for field wiring in process control environments such as refineries, pharmaceutical plants, or chemical facilities. These are available with shielding (foil or braid) to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is especially important in high-voltage environments.
• Shielded instrument cable – Designed to prevent signal loss or distortion over long runs. These are essential in systems where data integrity is non-negotiable – such as strain gauge wiring or feedback control loops.
• RS-485 communication cable and RS-232 serial communication cable – Widely used in point-to-point and multipoint industrial communication networks. These standards are time-tested for control systems, PLC networks, and SCADA integration.

Our clients often ask for customized conductor sizes, armoring, or specific shielding types depending on the installation environment. And because we represent global manufacturers, we can source these to spec, quickly and reliably.

Fieldbus Systems: CAN Bus and PROFIBUS Solutions

In today’s automation landscape, fieldbus cables are the backbone of real-time industrial networking. These cables are essential for connecting programmable logic controllers (PLCs), sensors, drives, and remote I/O devices.

We offer complete solutions for:

• CAN bus cables (Controller Area Network) – Including cable for CAN bus, CANbus connectors, and J1939 CAN bus cable types used in automotive, agricultural, and heavy equipment systems. These twisted pair cables are shielded and built for noise resistance, which is crucial in environments with high levels of electrical interference.
• USB to CAN bus adapters and CANbus to USB interfaces – For clients integrating legacy systems with modern diagnostics or logging tools.
• PROFIBUS cables and PROFIBUS connectors – A favorite in factory automation and process control. Our PROFIBUS solutions include standard and flexible variants, depending on whether the cables are installed in trays, ducts, or dynamic machinery.

Fieldbus systems are only as good as their weakest link. That’s why we don’t just supply these cables – we guide clients through proper termination, impedance matching, and connector compatibility.

Communication Wire for Building and Equipment Systems

Beyond industrial plants, communication cables are also at the heart of building management systems, HVAC control, and inter-device networking in commercial installations.

Some of our most requested types include:

• 14/4 communication wire – Ideal for multi-zone systems such as alarm, intercom, and access control. The 14 AWG conductors provide strength for longer runs without compromising signal strength.
• Communication wire for mini split systems – Essential for HVAC contractors who need dependable performance in temperature-sensitive and often confined environments.
• Bacnet wire – Used in building automation for seamless communication between controllers, sensors, and actuators. We provide twisted pair and shielded options that meet BACnet MSTP specs.

Whether it’s a data center or a retail installation, we help our clients choose the cable type that balances cost, performance, and physical layout constraints.

Fiber Optic and Long-Distance Communication

For high-speed, long-distance communication, fiber optic solutions are increasingly the go-to. While we don’t manufacture fiber, we work closely with global leaders in fiber optic cable manufacturing and offer:

• Multimode optical fiber cable – Ideal for short-to-medium distance data transmission in buildings and campus networks.
• Fiber optic termination boxes and optic fiber boxes – Used to house and protect fiber splices and connectors. These are critical components for structured cabling in data-heavy environments like hospitals and IT infrastructure.

With more customers transitioning from copper to fiber for high-speed communications, we’ve made it a priority to help clients understand compatibility, connector types, and routing best practices.

Specialized Use Cases

While most of our work is industrial, we also get inquiries for niche and technical applications such as:

• Underwater communication cables – Including submarine communication cable and undersea communication cables, typically sourced through specialized manufacturers. These are used in maritime, offshore wind, and military-grade installations.
• Industrial Ethernet cable and M12 Ethernet connectors – For real-time industrial control and machine-to-machine communication in rugged environments.

Each application has its own standards, tolerances, and environmental constraints. Our job is to match the cable structure, shielding, and insulation to those exact requirements.

Every Signal, Every System – Connected

At Oron Special Cables, we see communication and control cables not just as products, but as the nervous system of modern industry. They carry the intelligence that powers automation, safety, diagnostics, and precision control. Whether it’s a RS-485 network in a factory, a CAN bus loop in a smart vehicle, or a PROFIBUS ring in a bottling plant – we make sure the signal gets there cleanly, accurately, and reliably.

We’re proud to support engineers, integrators, and installers across multiple sectors with consultation, sourcing, and delivery of tailor-made cable solutions. Let us help you build systems that communicate with confidence.
