18 AWG 18P TC Shielded Al Tape XLPO GAALSHIP Instrumentation IEEE Type P 0.6/1KV Offshore Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 18 AWG 18P TC Shielded Al Tape XLPO GAALSHIP Instrumentation IEEE Type P 0.6/1KV Offshore Cable:100 Amps

About:

This cable features an 18 American Wire Gauge (AWG) single pair (18P) tinned copper (TC) conductor, which is ideal for precise data transmission. The aluminum (Al) tape shielding provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI), which is critical in environments with high electronic noise. The cross-linked polyolefin (XLPO) insulation offers superior chemical and thermal stability, enhancing the durability and safety of the cable under extreme conditions. It is rated for 0.6/1 kV, suitable for medium voltage applications.
