20 AWG 20P Stranded BC Shield Individual Al Tape PE Blue PVC RE-2Y(St)Yv PiMF 300V Instrumentation Cable
Allowable Ampacity for 20 AWG 20P Stranded BC Shield Individual Al Tape PE Blue PVC RE-2Y(St)Yv PiMF 300V Instrumentation Cable: 100 Amps
About:
This cable variant is engineered for signal transmission in control systems, instrumentation, and communications, especially where external electromagnetic interference (EMI) could impact signal integrity. The 20 AWG size indicates the conductor’s diameter, which is thinner compared to 16 AWG, making it suitable for different or potentially lower power and signal level applications.
Also Known As:
• 20 AWG Instrumentation Cable
• Aluminum Tape Shielded Instrumentation Cable
• Blue PVC Instrumentation Cable
• PE Insulated Instrumentation Cable
Application:
Instrumentation cables are used in data processing and process control and are suitable for fixed installations in damp locations, in open locations, in open spaces and for underground laying.
Standards:
• The designation RE-2Y(St)Yv refers to a specific type of European standardization, indicating the cable’s compliance with certain construction and performance criteria.
• PiMF stands for “Pairs in Metal Foil,” which is key to its EMI shielding effectiveness.
• The 300V rating highlights the cable’s suitability for medium-voltage applications.
