RS PRO Type K Thermocouple Cable, Unscreened, 5 m Length, Fibreglass Insulation, 7 x 0.2 mm Strands, 350°C Max 185-3016

RS PRO 185-3016 Type K Thermocouple Cable is a high-quality, unscreened thermocouple cable featuring fibreglass insulation and 7 strands of 0.2 mm conductors laid flat in a pair configuration. Designed for use in demanding industrial and laboratory environments, this cable provides reliable temperature measurement extension with an operating temperature up to 350°C, suitable for short-term exposure up to 400°C.

The fibreglass insulation ensures durability and protection against thermal hotspots that would damage standard PVC or PTFE cables. The cable's flat shape allows easy routing and installation, making it versatile for applications such as R&D, manufacturing, engineering, production environments, and in thermostats used in homes and offices.

Constructed to British Standard BS1843-1952 for colour coding and manufacture, the RS PRO thermocouple cable guarantees consistent performance and compatibility with type K thermocouple sensors. It is ideal as an extension cable to increase flexibility and functionality of thermocouple systems. The unscreened nature of this cable offers good temperature resistance but it is not recommended for use where fluids or liquids are present.

This model is available in multiple lengths and configurations, including options with stainless steel overbraid for increased mechanical protection in harsh environments. The cable comprises 7 strands with a conductor diameter of 0.2 mm each.

Fibreglass insulation provides excellent high temperature tolerance. Maximum continuous operating temperature is rated at 350°C with short transient peaks up to 400°C. The flat pair design ensures ease of installation and reduces cable bulk.

Meets British Standard BS for construction and colour coding. Widely used across industrial, laboratory, HVAC, manufacturing, and research sectors. Offers cost-effective extension of thermocouple sensor systems. Unscreened design suitable for dry environments without exposure to liquids.

Country of origin is the United Kingdom.
