18 AWG PLTC/ITC Cable – Maximum EMI Protection with Double Shielding for Instrumentation and Automation

Field-mounted sensors and transmitters often run long distances through electrically noisy industrial environments. A single corrupted signal can shut down a production line. This 18 AWG PLTC/ITC instrumentation cable provides the highest level of noise protection with individually shielded pairs plus an overall shield, ensuring that critical sensor data reaches the control system with minimal degradation. The stranded bare copper conductors offer excellent flexibility for routing through tight spaces, while the PVC insulation and PVC jacket provide robust protection against moisture, oil, and mechanical stress. UL1277 certified and rated 300V, this cable is approved for cable tray installations and exposed runs, making it suitable for factory automation, process control, sensor networks, and instrumentation systems. The 18 AWG size is ideal for applications where multiple conductors need to be packed into limited space while maintaining signal integrity.

FAQ

Why choose 18 AWG over 16 AWG for instrumentation?

18 AWG is lighter and more flexible, making it easier to route in crowded cable trays and panels. It also allows more conductors in the same space.

What is the maximum distance for 18 AWG instrumentation signals?

Distance depends on the signal type and load. For 4-20mA loops, 18 AWG can typically run several hundred feet. For digital communications, distance is limited by the communication protocol specifications.

Does individual shielding prevent cross-talk?

Yes, individually shielded pairs prevent cross-talk between pairs within the same cable, making this cable ideal for applications with multiple sensitive signals.

Is this cable suitable for thermocouple extensions?

Yes, but ensure proper cold junction compensation as needed for the specific application and instrumentation.
