H2MXS-1618G

Rectangular Cable Assemblies

The H2MXS-1618G cable assembly is one example of a rectangular cable assembly used in today’s industrial and commercial markets. Rectangular cable assemblies are being adopted by industry as the most practical solution for transferring power and data in installations where multiple cables are required. This particular cable assembly allows for the connection of two MS-type receptacles and one 18G receptacle. It is designed for indoor use and is UL/cUL recognized.

The H2MXS-1618G is composed of distinct components, each with a unique role in transmitting power and data. The key components of the cable assembly include a lever-style MS connector, an 18-gauge connector, a cable with the stranded copper wire conductor, and a heavy-duty polymer overmold. The MS connector lever can snap into place, and provides power and data connections with corresponding M and S receptacles. The 18G wire connector is used for low voltage power connections. It has a low temperature coefficient of voltage and an efficiently efficient voltage rating, making it ideal for use in applications that draw a lot of electrical current.

The cable itself is constructed of stranded copper wire and compliant to VDE 0295/EIA-TIA standards. It is designed to carry low voltage circuits for communication equipment, industrial control systems, and panel boards. The overlapping copper strands provide superior current carrying capacity and flexibility. The heavy-duty polymer overmold provides strain relief and ensures the cable remains securely connected to the connectors even during repeated flexing.

When channeled through a conduit or other enclosure, the H2MXS-1618G cable assembly is capable of transmitting power and data signals from two receptacles to one. It should only be used in such low voltage applications, as it is not suitable for high power or high voltage applications. The cable assembly is UL and cUL listed for safety. As with any cable assembly, it should always be tested for electrical properties prior to use.

The H2MXS-1618G cable assembly provides an effective, efficient means of converting power and data between two receptacles. It is constructed of high-quality components and designed to provide superior strength, flexibility, and current carrying capacity. The cable assembly is UL/cUL recognized, and is compliant to VDE 0295/EIA-TIA standards. It is suitable for use in low voltage applications, and should be tested for electrical properties prior to use.
