RS PRO Type K Thermocouple Cable 25 m Unscreened PVC Insulation 7 x 0.2mm, 105°C Max 151-316

The RS PRO Type K Thermocouple Cable, model 151-316, is purpose-built for use as compensating or extension wire in professional temperature measurement and control systems. This cable is engineered to maintain signal integrity for Type K thermocouples, making it ideal for applications in industrial automation, process control instrumentation, and laboratory sensors requiring stable connectivity over moderate runs.

At 25 metres in length, this unscreened thermocouple cable features a robust flat pair geometry, with conductors consisting of 7 strands of 0.2mm wire for enhanced flexibility, vibration resistance, and secure laying in ducts or trays. The entire cable is insulated and sheathed in high-quality polyvinyl chloride (PVC), offering reliable electrical insulation, mechanical protection, and resistance to many common chemicals encountered in industrial environments.

The core construction employs old British Standard (BS1843) colour-coded insulation, simplifying cable identification and supporting compatibility in legacy temperature monitoring installations. With a maximum continuous operating temperature of 105°C and a lower threshold of -10°C, the cable is versatile for a range of medium-temperature applications, including sensor connections, extension runs, and general industrial wiring in manufacturing, water treatment, and HVAC systems.

This particular cable is classified as unscreened, suitable for environments where electromagnetic interference is either minimal or adequately managed elsewhere. The unscreened, flexible construction streamlines installation and maintenance in panels, racks, or cable trays. As a general-purpose cable, it is waterproof and highly flexible, further enhancing its utility in demanding environments.

Conforming to the BS1843 specification, this cable is approved for use in installations where reliable and repeatable thermocouple signal transmission is essential. Common applications include linking field temperature sensors to central control systems, extension wiring for industrial ovens, kilns, environmental chambers, and process automation setups.

Choose the RS PRO 151-316 thermocouple cable for secure, standard-compliant temperature monitoring across multiple domains - from industrial plants, chemical processes, laboratory setups, to commercial automation environments.
