Product Description

The 16710-12 is a high-performance armored interconnect cable manufactured in the USA, purpose-built for industrial monitoring systems where mechanical durability and electrical integrity are critical. This 12-foot (3.6-meter) cable provides a reliable connection between machinery transducers and monitoring systems, delivering precise vibration and position data under demanding conditions.

Engineered for heavy industrial environments, the 16710-12 features a flexible armored exterior that protects the internal conductors from crushing, abrasion, and accidental impacts. Inside, three 22 AWG (0.5 mm²) tinned copper conductors are fully shielded with foil and braid to minimize EMI/RFI interference. Terminations include a 3-socket female plug for sensor connection and heavy-duty terminal lugs for secure integration into monitoring racks or junction boxes.

Key Advantages

  • Industrial-Grade Protection: Armor shields against crushing, abrasion, and accidental impacts.

  • Signal Integrity: Foil and braided shielding suppresses EMI/RFI, maintaining accurate vibration and position signals.

  • Optimized Conductor: 22 AWG tinned copper ensures low resistance and flexibility over medium distances.

  • Ideal Length: 12 ft (3.6 m) bridges machinery-mounted sensors to local junction boxes with minimal slack.

  • Simplified Installation: Often does not require additional conduit, meeting mechanical protection requirements in many industrial codes.


Technical FAQ

Q: Does the 16710-12 require additional conduit?

  • In many installations, the armored cable provides sufficient mechanical protection on its own. External conduit may be required only if local electrical codes demand it.

Q: Why is 22 AWG wire gauge used for this cable?

  • 22 AWG (0.5 mm²) tinned copper offers an optimal balance of flexibility and low DC resistance, ensuring signal integrity over the 3.6-meter span.
