Description
The J-Type PVC/PVC Thermocouple Compensating Cable is designed for economical and reliable transmission of J-Type thermocouple signals between the sensing point and temperature measurement instruments. Instead of using the same conductor materials as a J-Type thermocouple, the cable is manufactured with specially selected compensating alloy conductors that closely reproduce the thermoelectric characteristics of the thermocouple within a specified ambient temperature range. This makes it a cost-effective solution for extending thermocouple circuits while maintaining dependable signal accuracy in industrial temperature measurement applications.
Manufactured in a 2-core, 24 SWG construction, the cable features PVC insulation with a PVC outer sheath, providing good electrical insulation, flexibility, and mechanical protection for indoor industrial environments. Designed for ambient temperatures up to 105°C, it is suitable for connecting J-Type thermocouples to temperature controllers, PLCs, DCS systems, indicators, recorders, data loggers, and industrial automation equipment.
