Description
The PTFE RTD Extension Cable is designed for accurate transmission of resistance signals from Pt100, Pt1000, and other RTD temperature sensors to temperature controllers, PLCs, DCS systems, indicators, transmitters, and industrial automation equipment. Manufactured with high-quality conductors and PTFE (Teflon) insulation, the cable provides excellent electrical performance, chemical resistance, and long-term reliability in demanding industrial environments. Available in 2-wire, 3-wire, and 4-wire configurations, it supports the most common RTD wiring methods used for industrial temperature measurement.
The cable features PTFE insulation and outer sheath, making it suitable for ambient temperatures up to 250°C while offering excellent resistance to chemicals, moisture, oils, and abrasion. Individual or overall shielding options help reduce electrical interference, making the cable ideal for installations near motors, drives, transformers, variable frequency drives (VFDs), and other electrically noisy equipment.
