82A0822-16-9/96

Multiple Conductors Cables generally refer to cables that are used for electrical power transfer, control and communication in one set of insulating jackets. They can be designed for a wide range of applications including direct burial, aerial, and in-building. And 82A0822-16-9/96 is one of the most common type cables.

The 82A0822-16-9/96 is an eight conductors cable with individual shield, overall shielded, aluminum/mylar tape shield, rated 600 volts, OFCP, 90°C dry locations. It is suitable for control, and power limited circuits, instrumentation, process control, audio and intercom systems.

The general construction of an 82A0822-16-9/96 cable is composed of annealed stranded bare-copper conductor of 20 AWG, supporting a limited use thermoplastic black ELTHENI® insulation. The 8 individual shielded pairs with drain wires are twisted with a common aluminum/mylar tape shield, then jacketed with a sunlight and moisture resistant black SunGlo GRT. By construction, this type of cable is quite light, flexible, and of low cost.

The principal benefit of this cable is its 8 shielded pairs, allowing for improved signal integrity and protection from electronic interference. Each pair has its own individual shielding, often some combination of foil or braid wrap, which are grounded to the cable’s shield at each end. This shield is usually integrated into the cable’s jacket, providing coverage for all 8 pairs.

The cable jacket also plays an important role in the cable\'s construction.This jacket will prevent water from reaching the cable’s conducting components, improving the cable’s life longevity, especially under water. The environmental temperature range that can be sustained by a jacket entirely depends on the type of material used.

Though this type of cable is especially designed for limited power use, it can still handle more than 10 amperes current. This makes it a suitable choice when it comes to power transmission in restricted spaces or direct burial applications. The cable is designed to be flexible and may be used in combined power, control and communications applications.

All in all, 82A0822-16-9/96 cables offer an effective solution for power limited applications. They provide a bundle of 8 individually shielded pairs, offering additional shielding and electro-magnetic interference (EMI) protection compared to unshielded cables. They are also highly flexible and able to hold up in any environment, making them an ideal choice for various electrical needs.
