Standard
A PVC jacket over a flat steel ribbon monocoil is the standard cable sheathing, which is an excellent combination for general purpose usage.
Alternatives
Other cable sheathings are available for special applications. Interlocking Stainless Steel, Option C1, is the most popular alternative sheathing, providing the highest temperature capability and maximum crush resistance with good flexibility. It is also a good choice for high vacuum and cryogenic applications.
Notes
- Sensors with the longest cables have 2x higher noise levels.
- Please consult the factory when combining Options B,E and/or H.
Sheathing Options for Cables
| Model | Temperature Range | Materials | Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | +10° to +107° C | PVC over Steel Monocoil | Good general purpose, moderate crush resistance, moderate tensile strength. |
| C1 | -270° to +340° C | Interlocking Stainless Steel | Maximum strength & temperature range, good flexibility. |
| C2 | -62° to +232° C | Silicone Rubber only | Maximim flexibility, no crush resistance, no tensile strength. |
| C3 | -62° to +232° C | Silicone over PTFE Wrap | 2 meter max. length, light crush resistance, non-metallic. |
| C4 | -62° to +232° C | Silicone over Steel Monocoil | Good flexibility, moderate crush resistance, moderate tensile strength. |
| C5 | -270° to +260° C | PTFE over SS Interlok | Provides vapor barrier protection, poor flexibility. |
| C6 | +10° to +107° C | PVC Shrinkwrap over Nylon Wrap | Good for long lengths, light crush resistance, non-metallic. |
| C7 | -270° to +260° C | Translucent PTFE | Does not outgas in vacuum, wide temperature range, poor flexibility, susceptible to ambient light interference. |
| C8 | +10° to +107° C | PVC Shrinkwrap only | Good flexibility, no crush resistance, long lengths OK. |
| C9 | -270° to +340° C | Annealed (semi-rigid) SS Tubing | Very poor flexibility, supports High Pressure. |
| C10 | -62° to +232° C | Silicone Over SS Interlok | Provides Electrical Isolation from SS Interlok. |
| C11 | Polyolefin (Vapor Barrier) Shrink Tubing | ||
| E | Extra length of fiberoptic cable. Standard Cable Lengths are 3 feet. For lengths exceeding 3 ft., specify Option E and give total Cable Length, 49 Feet Maximum (15 m). | Glass fibers having light beam spreads of 25, 30 and 66° are used to produce Philtec sensors. The narrower beams give longer operating ranges.
