What is the significance of the screened design in this cable?
The screened design plays a crucial role in minimising electromagnetic interference, allowing for clear and stable signal transmission. This is particularly important in automated and electronic systems where interruptions can lead to performance issues.
What is the importance of tinned copper in the construction?
Tinned copper enhances resistance to corrosion and oxidation, making the cable suitable for applications in various environments, including those exposed to moisture or chemicals.
How does the PVC insulation contribute to the cable's performance?
PVC insulation provides effective protection against mechanical damage, abrasion, and environmental factors, ensuring the cable maintains functionality in demanding conditions and extending its lifespan.
What is the minimum bend radius for effective installation?
The minimum bend radius is 10 times the diameter of the cable, ensuring that the cable does not suffer damage during installation or operation, which is critical for maintaining performance standards and longevity.
