Complex pneumatic automation units generally require several interlinked control elements. The NEBV connecting cables provide the electrical link between the control unit and the valve terminals. There are two options, each of which respond to different needs: a black cable conceived in particular for standard applications and a grey cable for applications that have higher safety requirements. In its design and choice of materials, this grey cable complies with the “Clean-Design” demands of particular manufacturing environments such as food processing. Both cables have a 45 degree outlet, which makes them suitable for use in a wide variety of installation situations. A convincing detail in the design is the thickening at the end of the cable, which clearly indicates the grip area of the cable. With their consistent design, the NEBV connecting cables perfectly integrate into their work environment – they combine their functionality with a high degree of formal clarity.

The design concept of the NEBV connecting cables meets the complexity of their requirements with a convincing functionality. The thickened end of the cables is an impressive design solution; it is self-explanatory and lies well in the hand. The clear design vocabulary of these connecting cables shows conciseness and reflects the corporate design of the Festo company.
