2254/3 SL001

Multiple conductor cables are some of the most prevalent and essential tools in the electrical industry. As their name suggests, multiple conductor cables are composed of multiple small conductors within the same outer jacket or insulation. These individual applications can be used for projects as simple as connecting two devises together, all the way to connecting large electrical systems.

The SL001-2254/3 is a common, and versatile type of multiple conductor cable. It is designed for both indoor and outdoor applications, and consists of three XLP (Cross Linked Polyethylene) insulated 16AWG conductors. These are arranged in a flat configuration, and housed in a commercial grade black PVC stretchable outer jacket.

The specific application field of the SL001-2254/3 can encompass a vast array of scenarios. This type of cable is most often used for low voltage applications, such as alarm systems, doorbells, or as a “jumper” between two devices. In addition, it can be used for conduit runs, as well as closed circuits and control systems.

The working principle of the SL001-2254/3 is fairly straightforward. All three conductors within the outer jacket allow electricity to easily flow from one point to another. As electricity flows through each individual conductor, the element is said to be conducting electricity. Each conductor in the cable is insulated which limits it’s ability to carry too much electricity; this is where the use of multiple conductors becomes useful. By utilizing multiple conductors to carry electricity, the overall current can be increased, as the electricity is split between the three. This allows the SL001-2254/3 to run both safely and efficiently.

In summary, the SL001-2254/3 is an excellent type of multiple conductor cable. It has various applications that range from simple domestic projects, to complex large scale industrial scenarios. It’s three insulated 16AWG conductors, and outer black PTV stretchable jacket allow the power to be distributed in a safe, and efficient manner. It can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications and is often placed in conduits for greater protection and easier wiring.
