Multi-conductor cable provides connectivity for electrical power and signals. Use portable cord for heavy-duty indoor/outdoor applications; communication cable for low-capacitance transmission of data signals; control/sensor cable for most discrete signals; instrumentation cable for analog signal transmission. Most cable can be ordered cut to your specified lengths, or in any bulk length.
