18-24 Pair TC-ER Instrumentation Cable, Individual/Overall Shield, 600V

APPLICATION:
Our 18/24 Pair (48-Conductor) Shielded TC-ER Instrumentation Cable (600V)is suitable for control, instrumentation and process control circuits, where protection against electrostatic interference from both outside of the cable and from pair to pair is needed. TC-ER Shielded Pairs with Overall Shield (SPOS) cables are suitable for wet or dry applications, direct burial, indoor or outdoor locations, installed in cable trays, ducts, aerially or conduits and for applications up to 600 volt and temperatures up to 90C. TC-ER SPOS Instrumentation Cables are suitable for use in Class 1 Division 2 Hazardous locations per NEC.

“Consolidate 24 independent signal loops into a single, high-performance pullengineered with individually shielded pairs and an overall foil shield for maximum EMI protection in high-density control arrays.”

Why Engineers Specify Our 18/24 Pair Cable

This massive 48-conductor (24-Pair) instrumentation cable is the professional choice for centralized process monitoring and large-scale DCS hubs. It allows you to manage 24 independent process loops (such as 4-20mA signals) within a single, ruggedized jacket, drastically reducing the complexity and footprint of your cable tray systems.

• Maximum Signal Isolation (SPOS): Each of the 24 pairs is wrapped in its own 100% aluminum polyester foil shield, then protected by an overall foil shield. This “Shielded Pairs with Overall Shield” construction ensures that 48 conductors can operate in close proximity with zero signal bleed or data corruption.

• Massive Labor Efficiency (TC-ER): Rated for Exposed Run (ER), this cable is UL-listed for installation without conduit or raceways. One pull replaces 24 individual cables, cutting your installation time by up to 80% and eliminating miles of expensive pipe infrastructure.

• Hazardous Environment Ready: Fully compliant with Class 1 Division 2 requirements. The chemical, sunlight, and moisture-resistant PVC/Nylon jacket is designed for the extreme conditions of refineries, chemical plants, and offshore rigs.

• Precision Numbering: Every pair is clearly numbered 1 through 24 (Black & White), ensuring fast, error-free termination in high-density control cabinets.

More Common Applications

• Centralized DCS & PLC Hubs: Connecting massive sensor banks (Pressure, Flow, Level) to a main industrial control room.

• Petrochemical & Refining: Managing high-density multi-valve and multi-motor feedback in hazardous zones.

• Power Generation: Critical signal wiring for utility-scale turbines and complex monitoring systems.

• Large-Scale Infrastructure: Reliable, consolidated signal transmission for bridges, tunnels, and water treatment plants.
