15 Core Shielded Multiconductor Cable, 20 AWG ( per meter )

A 15-Core Shielded Multi-Conductor Cable, 20 AWG is a high-density electronic cable used for applications requiring a large number of independent circuits bundled together, with essential protection against electrical interference.

Typical Applications

Industrial Robotics and Machinery: Providing power and control signals to complex articulated arms, vision systems, or integrated sensor packages.
Aviation and Marine Electronics: Interconnecting control panels, navigation equipment, and communication systems that require a large number of shielded signal lines.
Data and Telemetry: Used in large-scale data acquisition systems or specialized computer peripherals where numerous discrete signals must be transferred reliably.

Technical Specification

Conductor and Core Details

Parameter	Typical Specification	Notes
Number of Conductors	15	Fifteen individual insulated cores for high-density wiring.
Wire Gauge (AWG)	20 AWG	Suitable for low-current control and signal transmission.
Conductor Material	Stranded Tinned Copper	Stranded configuration (e.g., $7 \times 28$ strands) ensures flexibility and fatigue resistance.
Insulation Material	PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) or PE (Polyethylene)	PVC is common for general use; PE offers better electrical properties.
Nominal Conductor DCR	$\approx 32.3 Ohms/km (10.4 Ohms/1000 ft)$	DC Resistance at $2 0^{\circ} C$ .

Shielding and Jacket Construction

Parameter	Typical Specification	Purpose
Shielding Type	Overall Foil Shield (Aluminum/Polyester)	Provides $100%$ coverage against electromagnetic interference (EMI). Some premium versions may include a foil-and-braid Double Shield.
Drain Wire	Included, Stranded Tinned Copper	Required for properly grounding the overall shield to dissipate noise.
Jacket Material	PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)	Durable material for mechanical protection. TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) or LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) options are available for specialized environments.
Nominal Outer Diameter (O.D.)	$\approx 9.9 mm to 10.5 mm (0.39 in to 0.41 in)$	The large conductor count results in a significantly thicker cable.

Electrical and Environmental Ratings

Parameter	Typical Specification	Significance
Voltage Rating	$300 V$ (Most Common) or $600 V$	The maximum recommended operating voltage.
Nominal Capacitance (Cond. to Shield)	$\approx 66 pF/ft$ (PicoFarads per foot)	Lower capacitance is ideal for high-speed or long-distance signal integrity.
Temperature Rating	$- 2 0^{\circ} C to + 8 0^{\circ} C$	Range for safe and reliable operation.
Maximum Current Capacity	Up to $10 Amps$ per conductor (in single conductor/power applications)	Note: Derating (reducing this value) is required when all 15 conductors are loaded simultaneously.
Agency Approvals	UL Style 2464, NEC Type CM/CMR, CSA CMG, RoHS Compliant	Certifies the cable meets industry safety, fire, and hazardous substance standards.
