18 AWG 8P Stranded Tinned Copper Shield Foil Halogen-Free GAALSHIP BU(c) Offshore Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 18 AWG 8P Stranded Tinned Copper Shield Foil Halogen-Free GAALSHIP BU(c) Offshore Cable:100 Amps

About:

The 18 AWG 8P Stranded Tinned Copper Shield Foil Halogen-Free GAALSHIP BU(c) Offshore Cable is designed for marine and offshore applications. It features stranded tinned copper conductors, ensuring excellent corrosion resistance and electrical conductivity. The cable is protected by a foil shield for electromagnetic interference protection and is coated with halogen-free materials to produce minimal smoke and no toxic gases in case of fire. This makes it ideal for environments where safety and reliability are critical.
