18 AWG 2C NPC Shield TC Braid Polyolefin Freeze Protection Hazardous SC/F Series Heating Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 18 AWG 2C NPC Shield TC Braid Polyolefin Freeze Protection Hazardous SC/F Series Heating Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This heating cable features an 18 AWG gauge with a two-conductor (2C) core, ensuring robust electrical performance. The NPC (Nickel-Plated Copper) shield signifies its enhanced conductivity and corrosion resistance, while the TC (Tinned Copper) braid indicates superior mechanical protection and effective grounding. The polyolefin insulation denotes high chemical and environmental resistance, making this cable suitable for demanding hazardous applications.
