ULTROL® 60+ Thermocouple Extension Individually Shielded Pairs Overall Shield Cable
Product description
The ULTROL® 60+ thermocouple extension cable features a 600 V individual shielded pair with an overall shield, constructed from thermoset materials. It is rated Class 1E and is specifically designed for both safety-related and non-safety-related applications in nuclear generating stations. This cable is intended for use in critical circuits where complete isolation is necessary between pairs and from external interference. It can be installed in trays, conduits, or ducts.
