Multiple Conductor Cables: 5010/20C SL002

Multi-conductor cables provide a wide range of options for applications. The 5010/20C SL002 is a round, sheathed cable designed for use in shielded, industrial and instrumentation control systems. It features a maximum of 20 individual copper conductors that are insulated with a cross-linked, polyethylene (XLPE) dielectric. It utilizes a tinned copper conductor shield and is wrapped in an overall, puncture-resistant, soft annealed, bare copper shield for extra protection in applications with greater mechanical abuses.

The 5010/20C SL002 cable is suitable for direct burial in most industrial applications. It can also be used in conduit in wet, damp or dry environments where toxic gases may be present. The cable is designed and manufactured to a temperature rating of 105°C. The flex life is rated for 15 million cycles.

Working principle

The 5010/20C SL002 multi-conductor cable operates on the principle of an electrical current passing through a conductor. The copper conductor in the cable transmits the electrical signal from a source to a destination. The insulation around the copper conductor acts as a barrier so that the electrical signal is not dissipated before it reaches its destination. The conducting shield also helps to ensure that the signal is not affected by external electromagnetic interference.

The cable is made from a combination of materials, such as flexible PVC insulation, tinned copper conductor shield, overall shield, jacket, and conduit adapter. These materials provide the cable with protection from mechanical, environmental, and electrical damage. The flex life rating of 15 million cycles helps to ensure that the cable can withstand frequent flexing without compromising the electrical performance of the cable.

Application field

The 5010/20C SL002 cable is popular in industrial settings due to its robust construction, flexibility, and resistance to mechanical abuse. It is suitable for direct burial in most industrial applications, as well as installations in conduit in wet, damp or dry environments where toxic gases may be present. The cable is also applicable in automotive, communications, data/control networks, industrial automation systems, and instrumentation control systems.

The 5010/20C SL002 multi-conductor cable is an ideal solution for applications where a durable cable is required. It offers a maximum of 20 individual, insulated copper conductors, which ensures that the electrical signal is transmitted effectively and efficiently from a source to a destination. The cable also provides protection against environmental and electrical damage as well as mechanical abuse. The cable\'s flex life rating of 15 million cycles makes it suitable for applications requiring frequent flexing without compromising the electrical performance of the cable.
