Multiple Conductor Cables: 86602CY SL005 application field and working principle

A multiple conductor cable, such as the 86602CY SL005, is composed of several insulated wires bonded together in a single jacket. This allows power and communications to be passed to multiple points from a single source, at a lower material and labor cost than separate wiring. The combination shield and jacket construction also provides mechanical and electrical protection of components in addition to electrical grounding.

The 86602CY SL005 is a multiple conductor cable that is suitable for areas where flame and fire retardation are required. It is UL approved for use in industrial control and power limited circuits, computer or audio-video installations, remote control and measuring apparatus, line operated devices, and signal systems.

The 86602CY SL005 is constructed of UL approved components designed to meet or exceed industry specifications. It consists of multiple bare or tinned copper conductors with an overall white PVC jacket. It is available in a range of gauges, which permit a wide variety of applications. The conductors are twisted together in pairs or triplets and are protected by a combination of a mylar tape, aluminum tape, and a gray PVC jacket.

Working Principle

The 86602CY SL005 multiple conductor cable works on the principle of parallel connection. This means that the electrical current is evenly distributed among all the conductors in the cable, allowing the cable to carry more power than a single conductor of the same size. The primary benefit of multiple conductor cables is their compact size, which allows them to be stored or used in tight spaces.

As the current moves through the conductors of a multiple conductor cable, it creates a small magnetic field. This field will interact with other nearby magnetic fields and cause an effect called crosstalk. Crosstalk is an undesired effect whereby signals in one line of conductor are affected by signals in another line of conductor.

In order to prevent crosstalk, the multiple conductor cables must be properly shielded. This shielding usually consists of a combination of a mylar tape, aluminum tape, and gray PVC jacket. The combination of shielding and twisting of the conductors helps reduce the effects of crosstalk and ensure that signals do not interfere with each other.

Application Fields

The 86602CY SL005 multiple conductor cable is used in a variety of applications. It is particularly suitable for areas where flame retardation is needed, such as industrial control, power-limited circuits, and remote operation. It is also popular in computer and audio/video installations and signal systems. The combination of exceptional signal integrity and flame-retardant qualities make the 86602CY SL005 a popular multiple conductor cable.

The 86602CY SL005 is also suitable for wiring in tight spaces, such as ceilings, walls, and other confined locations. This makes it a perfect choice for wiring residential and commercial structures, as well as industrial sites.

In addition to being suitable for a wide variety of applications, the 86602CY SL005 is designed for longterm performance. The combination of durable construction and high-grade materials make it an excellent choice for harsh environments, including outdoor use.

Conclusion

The 86602CY SL005 multiple conductor cable is a reliable and cost-effective solution for a wide variety of electrical wiring applications. Its combination of exceptional signal integrity, flame-retardant qualities, and durable construction make it a popular choice for residential, commercial, and industrial use. Furthermore, its compact design allows it to be used in tight spaces, such as walls and ceilings.
