Most platform scales, floor scales and truck scales have multiple load cells inside the actual weighing platform. Those load cells have cables.  As you can see below, there are several different types of load cell cable.  The heavy duty load cell cable usually connects to the junction box inside the scale platform.  A cable is then run from the Junction Box to the Digital Weight Indicator.  As you can see, there are a lot of parts inside the scale that require load cell cable.  Below are some different types of loadcell cable that is available.

EL146 Standard Load Cell Cable, 4 Wire
* 20 AWG tinned copper wire stranded for flexibility
* Braided shielding is encased in red PVC
