16 AWG TC-ER – Double-Shielded Instrumentation Cable with Nylon Jacket for Enhanced Durability

In industrial automation and process control, a corrupted sensor signal can cause costly production errors or equipment damage. This 16 AWG instrumentation cable solves that risk with individually shielded pairs plus an overall aluminum/polyester shield, delivering two layers of EMI protection for sensitive analog and digital signals. The stranded bare copper conductors provide excellent flexibility for routing through cable trays and conduits, while the PVC/Nylon/PVC construction adds a tough nylon layer that resists abrasion and mechanical stress during installation and service. Certified to UL1277 and UL83 with a 600V rating, this cable is Type TC-ER rated for exposed run tray installations without conduit, making it a practical choice for factory automation, sensor systems, and instrumentation control in demanding industrial environments. The nylon jacket provides superior protection against oil, chemicals, and physical wear, extending cable life in harsh manufacturing settings.

FAQ

What advantage does the nylon layer provide in this cable?

The nylon layer sits between the PVC insulation and the outer PVC jacket, providing enhanced abrasion resistance, protection against oil and chemicals, and additional mechanical strength during pulling and installation.

How does the TC-ER rating benefit installation?

TC-ER (Tray Cable with Exposed Run) permits installation in cable trays without conduit, saving installation time and material costs compared to conduit-based wiring systems.

Why is individual shielding important for instrumentation signals?

Individual shielding prevents cross-talk between adjacent pairs within the same cable, ensuring that signals from different sensors or transmitters do not interfere with each other.

Can this cable carry both analog and digital signals?

Yes, this cable is suitable for 4-20mA analog signals, thermocouple and RTD inputs, digital communications, and low-voltage control signals in automation systems.
