Alpha Wire Alpha Essentials Communication & Control Series Control Cable, 12 Cores, 0.81mm² 18 AWG 1898/12C SL005

Alpha Wire 1898/12C SL005 Control Cable is a high quality, unscreened multicore cable from the Alpha Essentials Communication & Control series designed specifically for industrial communication and control wiring applications. The cable features 12 individual cores made from stranded tin copper wire, offering excellent corrosion resistance and enhanced flexibility which is essential for reliable routing in factory and machine environments.

The cable has a nominal cross-sectional area of 0.81mm² (18 AWG) and an overall outside diameter of 9.6 mm, housed within a durable grey polyvinyl chloride (PVC) jacket. This rugged jacket material provides strong resistance against mechanical wear, abrasion and environmental conditions commonly experienced in industrial settings.

Rated voltage for the cable is 300V, supporting low-voltage control circuits, signal transmission, and remote circuit wiring needs. The operating temperature range extends from -20°C up to 80°C, making it suitable for use in varied hot environment conditions common on factory floors.

The cable complies with multiple international standards including UL, CE, and CSA, and it holds fire retardant classifications FT1, FT4, and VW-1, indicating limited flame spread properties and contributing to enhanced installation safety.

This Alpha Wire control cable is ideal for use in a wide range of industrial applications such as control and signal wiring for factory machinery, instrumentation, telephony connections, intercom systems, and monitoring equipment. It is suitable for installation in cable trays or conduits within automation racks, ensuring reliable performance in complex automation and control systems.
