Multiple Conductor Cables

Multiple Conductor Cables, including 55A0122-10-0/2, are not single core wires but rather bundle of wires that are manufactured in a manner that allows them to stay together either in directed or random groups. They are specially designed for transmission and distribution of power, data and control signals.

Application Field

The 55A0122-10-0/2 Multiple Conductor Cable is suitable for applications across multiple industries from Control, Instrumentation, Power, Data, Building Automation, Communication, Home Automation, Location Indication Systems, Security, and Surveillance. It is often used for power transmission and for residential interconnection of fire alarm systems, fire alarm control panels and bell components. This type of cable is also designed for connections to electric heaters, motor leads, humidifiers, and other power relative devices. Moreover, it is designed for direct burial in ground and is often used for in-ground telephone coverage.

Working Principle

The 55A0122-10-0/2 Multiple Conductor Cable consists of a bundle of insulated conductors, which are of identical or different sizes and gauge. During transmission, the multiple conductor cable carries the transmitted current from a sending point to receiving point across multiple conductors.The physical properties of the cable comprises a strong PVC sheath which covers all the individual conductors; this makes the multiple conductor cables strong and resistant to cable temperature, fire, water, corrosion and radiation. Some additional features of the 55A0122-10-0/2 Multiple Conductor Cable also include abrasion resistance, flame retardancy, halogen free properties and kink resistance.

Advantages

The main advantages of this type of cable are its flexibility, its superior strength to individual conductor cables, and its cost-effectiveness. Due to its flexibility, multiple conductor cables are easier to install, store and splice. They are also more reliable than single conductor cables. The cable\'s strong insulation also ensures superior electric, data and control signal transmission and distribution. Furthermore, manufacturing multiple conductor cables comes at a less expensive total cost than manufacturing their individual equivalent cables, making them both economically and ecologically friendly.

Disadvantages

While the 55A0122-10-0/2 Multiple Conductor Cable has many benefits, there are also some disadvantages associated with it. This type of cable is more resistant to electromagnetic interference than others, but it is not completely shielded. This leaves the possibility of unwanted signals being transmitted down the cables. Another potential disadvantage is the possibility for human error when splicing. If multiple conductor cables are not connected properly, then there could be an increase in resistance, leading to higher heat and poor transmission.

Conclusion

The 55A0122-10-0/2 Multiple Conductor Cable offers a wide range of benefits to its application fields including flexibility, reliability, and cost-effectiveness. While the cable also has some minor disadvantages, such as not being 100% shielded from electromagnetic interference and the possibility of splicing errors, it still remains a popular choice for many industries. By understanding the different advantages and disadvantages of multiple-conductor cables, one can assess whether or not it is the right choice for their particular application.
