Product Overview
This wire features a flexible stranded copper conductor (16-20 AWG) with dual-layer shielding (aluminum foil + copper braid) and PVC insulation, designed for reliable signal transmission in environments with electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI).
Key Specifications
- Conductor:
- Material: High-purity oxygen-free copper (OFC) for low resistance.
- Structure: Stranded/flexible (Class 5/6 per IEC 60228) for bendability.
- Size Range: 16 AWG to 20 AWG (adjustable based on current requirements).
- Insulation:
- Material: PVC (polyvinyl chloride).
- Properties: Flame-retardant, moisture-resistant, and durable.
- Temperature Rating: Typically -20°C to +80°C (varies by PVC grade).
- Shielding:
- Primary Shield: Aluminum foil (100% coverage) for high-frequency noise suppression.
- Secondary Shield: Tinned copper braid (≥85% coverage) for EMI/RFI protection and grounding.
- Jacket (Optional):
- Additional PVC or LSZH (low-smoke zero-halogen) outer jacket for mechanical protection.
- Electrical Properties:
- Voltage Rating: 300V or 600V (depends on insulation thickness).
- Capacitance: Low capacitance for signal integrity (e.g., <50 pF/ft).
- Flexibility:
- Suitable for dynamic applications (e.g., robotics, automation) due to stranded design.
Applications
- Industrial: Control cables, servo motors, PLC systems.
- Audio/Video: Shielded audio cables, microphone wires.
- Automotive: Sensor wiring, CAN bus systems.
- Telecom/Data: Low-voltage signal transmission.
Advantages
- Double Shielding: Superior noise rejection vs. single-shielded wires.
- Durability: PVC resists abrasion, chemicals, and UV (if rated).
- Customizable: AWG, shielding density, and jacket materials can be tailored.
Compliance Standards
- UL/CSA: Rated for safety (e.g., UL AWM style).
- RoHS/REACH: Compliant with environmental regulations.
Packaging
Available in reels (100m, 200m) or cut lengths. Custom labeling supported.
