Description
The PVC N Type Thermocouple Cable is designed for reliable thermocouple signal transmission in general industrial instrumentation and temperature monitoring systems operating within moderate ambient temperature environments. Manufactured in a 2-core, 3/24 SWG construction, the cable is suitable for connecting N-Type thermocouples to temperature controllers, PLCs, DCS systems, indicators, recorders, and industrial automation equipment. Its compact construction and flexible design make it well suited for control panel wiring, instrumentation cabinets, OEM equipment, and indoor process installations where dependable temperature signal transmission is required.
The cable features heat-resistant PVC (HR PVC) insulation and outer sheath, providing good electrical insulation, mechanical flexibility, and resistance to normal industrial operating conditions. Designed for ambient temperatures up to 105°C, it offers an economical solution for applications where high-temperature insulation systems such as fiberglass or Kapton are not required.
