16/0.2mm def-stan 16-12 part 5 signal cable is designed for high density wiring in process control systems, computers, data processors etc. Optional foil or braid screening provides protection against electronic interference.
Because of the mechanical design of these 16/0.2mm def-stan cables they should not be used for direct connection to mains power supplies.
Signal cables have small conductor sizes and are generally used for wiring between components or within electronic equipment.
Suitable for installation indoors or outdoors in dry or moist areas, not recommended for ducted or direct burial applications.
