18 AWG 16P Stranded TC Shield Individual Foil Braid Halogen-Free GAALSHIP RFOU(i) Offshore Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 18 AWG 16P Stranded TC Shield Individual Foil Braid Halogen-Free GAALSHIP RFOU(i) Offshore Cable 100 Amps

About:

This type of cable is designed for power, control, and instrumentation applications in offshore environments. The "18 AWG" refers to the wire gauge, which is a measure of the wire's thickness, and "16P". The "Stranded TC" (Tinned Copper) suggests that the conductor is made of multiple strands of tinned copper, enhancing its flexibility and corrosion resistance. The "Shield Individual Foil Braid" provides additional protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI), making it suitable for sensitive environments.

Also Known As:

This cable might also be referred to as a marine control cable, offshore instrumentation cable, or by its specific brand name or part number in certain catalogs.

Application:

The cable is commonly used in marine, offshore oil rigs, and other similar harsh environments where halogen-free materials are required to reduce the risk of fire and smoke toxicity. It is ideal for systems that require reliable data transmission and power supply in extreme conditions.
