Product Information

Specification

Allowable Ampacity for 16 AWG 2P Stranded Bare Copper Shielded Al Tape PE Blue PVC RE-2Y(St)Yv 300/500V Instrumentation Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This cable is specifically designed to facilitate reliable and accurate signal transmission in control systems, particularly in environments where electromagnetic interference (EMI) could be a significant concern. The 16 AWG gauge indicates a moderate conductor size that offers a good balance between electrical performance and physical flexibility.

Also Known As:

• PE Insulated, Aluminum Shielded Instrumentation Cable
• PVC Jacketed Control Cable
• EMI Shielded Instrumentation Cable
• Industrial Signal Cable

Application:

Instrumentation cables are used in data processing and process control and are suitable for fixed installations in damp locations, in open locations, in open spaces and for underground laying.

Standards:

• International standards from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
• European Norms (EN) that apply to cable construction and performance
• Industry-specific standards that assure its suitability for various industrial environments
