20 AWG 2P Stranded BC Shield Al Tape XLPE LSOH RE4XOHM1 300/500V Instrumentation Cable
Allowable Ampacity for 20 AWG 2P Stranded BC Shield Al Tape XLPE LSOH RE4XOHM1 300/500V Instrumentation Cable: 100 Amps
About:
This cable is designed for instrumentation and control purposes in various industrial settings. The “20 AWG” denotes the American Wire Gauge size, indicating the thickness of the conductors. “2P” suggests it has two pairs of conductors, which are stranded (not solid), made of bare copper (“Stranded BC”). The inclusion of an aluminum (Al) tape shield provides electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection.
Also Known As:
Such a cable might also be referred to as an Instrumentation Cable, Control Cable, or EMI-Shielded Instrumentation Cable, highlighting its primary applications and features.
Application:
• Industrial instrumentation: Transmitting signals, data, or control commands within or between devices.
• Process control systems: Integration in systems that monitor and control industrial processes.
• Data acquisition systems: Used where data is collected from different sensors and instruments.
• EMI-sensitive environments: The aluminum tape shield helps prevent interference in environments with high electromagnetic disturbances.
Standards:
• XLPE refers to cross-linked polyethylene insulation, which is known for high electrical insulation properties and resistance to heat, moisture, and chemicals.
• LSOH stands for Low Smoke Zero Halogen, indicating that the cable’s jacket material emits limited smoke and no halogen when exposed to high heat or flame.
• RE4XOHM1 might refer to specific compliance or performance standards, although this designation seems to be a mix of product-specific codes and standards.
• 300/500V denotes the cable’s voltage rating, suitable for low-voltage applications.
