Instrumentation cables have three main parts: an inner sheath made of thermoplastic or thermosetting compounds to protect the conductor bundle, an armour layer of steel wire or braid for mechanical protection, and an outer sheath of thermoplastic or thermosetting material applied over the armour to provide overall weather, chemical, electrical, and mechanical protection.

1. Inner Sheath : Typically a thermoplastic (eg. PVC) or thermosetting
(eg. CSP) compound. 2. Armour : For mechanical protection of the conductor bundle. Steel wire armour or braid is typically used. Tinning or galvanising is used for rust prevention. 3. Outer Sheath : Applied over the armour for overall mechanical, weather, chemical and electrical protection. Typically a thermoplastic (eg. PVC) or thermosetting(eg. CSP) compound,
