Key Core Advantages
Clear Polarity & Type Identification
Standard color coding for sheath and insulation (blue for K/J,
green for T) ensures easy identification of thermocouple type and
polarity, reducing installation errors. Multi-core design supports
multi-channel temperature measurement with individual pair
shielding.
Excellent Anti-Interference Performance
Tinned copper braid shielding with ≥85% coverage effectively blocks
EMI/RFI, ensuring stable signal transmission in high-noise
industrial environments. Twisted pair conductor structure minimizes
crosstalk between cores.
High-Temperature Resistance & Durability
FEP/PFA insulation withstands continuous operating temperatures up
to 200℃, preventing insulation degradation. Robust outer sheath is
oil-resistant, abrasion-resistant, and flame-retardant (VW-1).
Flexible Installation & Compatibility
Stranded conductors and thin insulation provide high flexibility
for installation in tight spaces and cable trays. Compatible with
all standard thermocouple sensors, temperature controllers, data
loggers, and PLC systems.
Stable Thermoelectric Performance
Meets Class 1 accuracy for extension cables, ensuring minimal
signal drift and accurate temperature measurement. High-purity
alloy conductors ensure low electrical resistance, reducing signal
loss over long distances.
