Load Cell Cables
A load cell cable is a shielded, multi-core signal cable that carries the millivolt-level measurement signal produced by a load cell to a weighing indicator or transmitter. It is used on the lines between the load cell, junction box and indicator in truck scales, platform scales, silo weighing and batching systems. In this category, Birtaş LI9Y(St)CY and Mekas PVC-sheathed load cell cables are listed by the meter in a 6x0.34 mm² configuration. Choose the number of cores according to whether the load cell is connected with 4 wires or 6 wires, the shield construction according to the electrical noise in the environment, and the sheath material according to the ambient conditions. In the 6-core configuration, the two sense cores allow the indicator to compensate for the voltage drop caused by line resistance. An unshielded control cable does not replace a load cell cable; a low-level measurement signal is easily affected by electrical noise.

How to choose Load Cell Cables
A load cell cable is a shielded, multi-core signal cable that carries the millivolt-level measurement signal produced by a load cell to a weighing indicator or transmitter. It is used on the lines between the load cell, junction box and indicator in truck scales, platform scales, silo weighing and batching systems.
- Clarify the circuit duty first: power distribution, control, fire safety, Ethernet or analog signal.
- Compare conductor cross-section, core count, insulation and shielding against the installation route.
- Switch to the proper cable family early when flex duty, oil resistance, halogen-free jacket or fire integrity is required.
