5499/15C SL001

Multiple conductor cables are used in a variety of applications where numerous electrical conductors must be simultaneously connected. These cables are often found in industrial and commercial settings, in which they are used to provide power to machines or equipment. The 5499/15C SL001 Cable is an example of such a cable, and its application field and working principle will be examined in this article.

Application Field

The 5499/15C SL001 Cable is a UL listed multiple conductor cable. This type of cable is designed for use in wet or dry locations, as well as in harsh environments where oils, solvents, acids, or other corrosive substances are present. This cable is also suitable for use in direct burial applications, and is commonly used for interconnection between motors, transformers, generators, and other terminal equipment.

The 5499/15C SL001 Cable is constructed of individually PVC-insulated conductors that are cabled together in a flat, multi-polar configuration. The fillers are closely applied and the assembly is covered with a Mylar-backed, copper-bearing, foil-shielded jacket. This allows multiple runs of the cable to be stacked together without risk of short circuits, while providing electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection. The combination of high flexibility and EMI shielding make the 5499/15C SL001 Cable suitable for a variety of industrial and commercial applications, including data centers, hospitals, automotive, and entertainment venues.

Working Principle

The 5499/15C SL001 Cable employs a corrugated aluminum shield that wraps around the individual conductors. This shield provides excellent EMI protection for the conductors and serves as a conduit for the return currents. As the shield is wrapped around the individual conductors, it creates a Faraday Cage effect that blocks out any external electromagnetic fields. This shielding also prevents the cable from acting as an antenna, creating a phenomenon known as “induced noise.”

The 5499/15C SL001 Cable is also designed to maximize the protection against electrical short circuits. The Mylar-backed, foil-shielded jacket provides superior protection against water, oils, solvents and acid vapors that may be encountered in certain applications. The jacket also prevents the conductors from being affected by vibrations or mechanical stress, which can lead to premature failure. This jacket also enhances the cable’s ability to resist electrical leakage, which can cause short circuits and other dangerous situations.

In summary, the 5499/15C SL001 Cable is a flexible, multi-polar, UL listed cable that is suitable for use in a variety of applications. The cable provides excellent EMI protection, and is engineered to resist electrical leakage and short circuits. The combination of these features make the 5499/15C SL001 Cable an ideal choice for industrial and commercial applications.
