18/8PR PLTC SPOS 105C 300V PVC Black

This 18 gauge 8 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.
