Description
This 16 gauge 16 twisted pair conductor PLTC or Power Limited Tray Cable is an instrumentation tray cable that is rated to 300 volts compared to tray cables rated to 600 volts. This cable is made up of concentric stranded bare copper conductors and rated for 105℃. It has a PVC insulation and SPOS or Shielded Pairs Overall Shield that is made of an aluminum mylar tape with a stranded tinned copper drain and a PVC jacket. SPOS shielding helps with electrical isolation and noise reduction.
PLTC cables are UL approved for sunlight resistant, direct burial applications, and Class I Division II hazardous locations. They can be used in many applications including intercom systems, burglar alarms, power limited circuits, industrial control systems, and substations.
Applications:
- Instrumentation cable inside or outside in control applications.
- Installations in trays, troughs, channels, conduit, wireways, and for aerial use when supported by a messenger.
