A 18 L- SAB Compensation and Extension Cables
RoHS

Application

Designed with versatility in mind, the A 18-022 L series supports efficient operation in machinery and panels. This round FEP thermocouple cable features FEP insulation, two stranded conductors laid together, and a PETP foil wrapping for enhanced performance. With a conductor cross-section of 0.22 mm² and a temperature resistance of up to 180°C, it is tailored for reliable measurement and control in demanding industrial applications. The A 18-022 L series is built with a durable FEP jacket, offering excellent resistance against chemicals, solvents, oils, and high temperatures. Its halogen-free design contributes to higher fire safety, as it minimizes toxic emissions in case of fire. With RoHS compliance, it aligns with strict international standards, ensuring both safety and environmental responsibility. This cable is available as both a thermocouple extension cable and a compensating cable, making it suitable for a wide range of thermocouple types including Type J, Type K, Type T, Type N, and Type R/S. Its compact size and flexible construction allow for easy integration into machinery, panels, and high-density wiring environments where precision and safety are essential. By combining robust material performance with installation flexibility, the A 18-022 L ensures accurate signal transmission, reliability, and long service life, making it an ideal choice for engineers in process automation, furnace and kiln construction, power generation, and test bench systems.
