SKU:Belden 1018A
● In stock
Description
Belden 1018A 004 is a Type KX thermocouple cable with 1 pair 16 AWG (solid) Chromel & Alumel conductors for temperature measurement and control wiring. It features PVC insulation with yellow & red color coding, plus an overall Beldfoil® shield (100% coverage) to help reduce electrical noise in instrumentation and low voltage digital control circuits. A yellow PVC outer jacket with ripcord supports easier installation in raceways, cable trays, and ducts. Voltage ratings include 300 V (PLTC, CMG, AWM 2464) and 150 V (ITC).
Belden 1018A 004 Key Features
- Type KX thermocouple construction with 1 pair 16 AWG (solid) Chromel & Alumel conductors.
- PVC insulation with yellow & red color coding for conductor identification.
- Overall Beldfoil® shield (100% coverage) helps reduce electrical noise in instrumentation and low voltage digital control circuits.
- Yellow PVC outer jacket with ripcord supports easier pulls and routing during installation.
- UL voltage rating: 300 V (PLTC, CMG, AWM 2464), 150 V (ITC).
Belden 1018A 004 Applications
- Use in industrial control wiring where thermocouple signals support monitoring or control tasks.
- Install in raceways, cable trays, and ducts to support organized routing in control and instrumentation pathways.
- Support digital control circuits where consistent signal handling is required.
- Apply in instruments (4-20ma, 0-10v, ...) where measurement and control signals are present.
- Fit low voltage digital control (24v, …) environments where control wiring is used alongside instrumentation.
- Connect thermocouples for temperature measurement and control wiring.
- Use in distributed control system (DCS) environments for instrumentation and control interconnects.
- Use in programmable logic controller (PLC) environments for control and instrumentation wiring.
