Specification

Allowable Ampacity for 16 AWG 16P Stranded BC Shield Al Tape PE Armour PVC RE-2Y(St)YRY 300V Instrumentation Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This cable is engineered for transmitting signals in control, monitoring, and measurement applications, particularly where electrical interference may be a concern. It is built to withstand harsh industrial environments while maintaining signal integrity.

Also Known As:

• Industrial Instrumentation Cable
• PE Insulated, Al Tape Shielded Cable
• Armored Instrumentation Cable

Application:

These cables are used for transmission of analoge and digital signals in instrument and control systems at chemistry and petrochemistry industry plants, natural gas and petroleum plants. With blue sheath it is suitable for intrinsically safe systems. these cables are for indoor/outdoor installation, in dry and wet locations, on rack trays, in conduits.
