Cable and electrical connections

Cables for irrigation - the connection between controller and valve

Irrigation cables are an integral part of your irrigation system, often invisible, but essential for supplying power to the solenoid valves - and thus for turning water distribution on and off. In particular, cables with a cross-section of 0.8 mm² copper wire provide excellent connectivity. The sturdy outer sheath of the irrigation cables ensures durability and corrosion resistance even when installed directly in the ground. Let's take a look at the critical role and benefits of these premium irrigation cables.

The basic role of irrigation cables in your system: the main function of an irrigation cable is to connect the controller to the valves. Each cable contains several wires, one of which is used as a common wire that carries power back. The other wires each control a single valve, allowing for precise water flow in your system. The importance of your irrigation wire is critical to an efficiently operating irrigation system.


Copper wires for superior connectivity: Copper, known for its excellent electrical conductivity, is the material of choice for high-quality irrigation cables. Cables with 0.8 mm² copper wire provide reliable control signals from the controller to the valves. This excellent conductivity, coupled with copper's inherent durability and corrosion resistance, increases the efficiency and longevity of your irrigation system.

Waterproof connectors for optimal protection: In the often humid environment of a garden irrigation system, especially in summer temperatures when condensation forms on the pipes, it is important to protect the cable connections from corrosion. By using waterproof connectors or gel sleeves, you protect the cable connections from moisture and possible corrosion, which then prevents the passage of electricity. These connectors ensure the long-term reliability of your system's electrical connections.


In summary, while irrigation cables are not the most visible component of an irrigation system, their importance to an efficient and long-lasting system is undeniable. High-quality cables, such as those with 0.8 mm² copper wire, provide excellent conductivity and durability. Combined with waterproof connectors, they provide a comprehensive solution for a well-functioning irrigation system. Investing in top-quality irrigation cables can significantly contribute to the long-term functioning of the system and ensure optimal greenery in your garden!
