18 AWG 8T Stranded Bare Copper Al Tape PVC Gaalflex Instrumentation 600 STOS Tray Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 18 AWG 8T Stranded Bare Copper Al Tape PVC Gaalflex Instrumentation 600 STOS Tray Cable: 100 Amps

About:

• This cable features conductors of 18 AWG size, which refers to the American Wire Gauge standard for wire thickness.
•"8T" likely indicates two twisted pairs of stranded bare copper conductors, enhancing flexibility and signal transmission.
• It includes an aluminum (Al) tape shield, providing effective protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI).
• The PVC insulation and the 600V rating make it suitable for industrial instrumentation applications.

Also Known As:

• It might be referred to as "18 AWG Aluminum Shielded PVC Instrumentation Cable" or "600V Stranded Copper Pair Tray Cable."
• The "STOS" designation typically indicates specific shielding or construction features.

Application:

• Primarily used in industrial settings for instrumentation and control systems.
• Suitable for tray applications, such as in power plants, manufacturing facilities, and other environments where cable trays are used.
• Appropriate for direct burial and environments where exposure to oil, chemicals, and UV light is possible.
