AutomationDirect: Instrumentation & PLTC Cables

December 8, 2020

AutomationDirect offers 300V UL Instrumentation Cable available with 16 AWG, 18 AWG or 20 AWG conductors in 1, 2, 4, or 8 twisted pairs with an overall shield or in 2, 4, or 8 individually shielded twisted pairs with an overall shield.

  • The overall shielded cables have an aluminum/polyester foil shield with 100% coverage and a tinned copper continuous drain wire for protection against external electrical noise interference.
  • Cables with both individually shielded pairs and an overall shield have aluminum/polyester foil shields with 100% coverage complete with separate tinned copper continuous drain wires for maximum effectiveness against both external electrical noise interference and crosstalk between pairs.
  • Individual conductor pairs are stranded bare copper with black and white premium grade PVC insulation and marked with alpha-numeric print for easy identification. The cable’s outer jacket is a black premium grade PVC that is sunlight and moisture resistant.
  • A convenient 22 AWG orange PVC insulated communications conductor (talk wire) is included on 16 AWG & 18 AWG multi-pair cables.

 

Industrial Applications

These instrumentation cables are dual listed as UL 2250 Type ITC (Instrumentation Tray Cables) and UL 13 Type PLTC (Power Limited Tray Cables).

  • Type ITC cables can be used for instrumentation and control circuits operating at 150 volts or less and 5 amperes or less as described in NEC Article 727.
  • Type PLTC cables can be used for Class 2 and Class 3 remote-control, signaling, and power-limited circuits as described in NEC Article 725. Additionally these cables are permitted for use in hazardous locations as described in NEC Articles 501 through 505.

ABB Pioneers Advanced Cable Protection Solution Crafted From Discarded Ocean Fishing Nets

An estimated 1 million tons of abandoned, lost and discarded fishing gear (ALDFG), the equivalent of 50,000 double-decker buses, litter the world’s oceans every year, endangering marine life as a major source of ocean plastic pollution. To help address dangerous marine pollution, ABB Installation Products pioneered cable protection crafted from 50% recycle-based polyamide using primarily recovered fishing nets.
