Compensation thermocouple wire KCA

stranded

Description
Type K KCA compensation cable, 2 × 1.3 mm², with silicone insulation and silicone outer sheath, color-coded according to IEC. Designed to connect type K thermocouples to measurement and control equipment, transmitting the signal while preserving polarity.

Construction and materials
Two flexible stranded conductors (configuration 16 × 0.32 mm) of KCA material with individual silicone rubber insulation and a green silicone rubber outer sheath. Stranded, flexible conductors suitable for industrial installations requiring flexibility and resistance to demanding temperature conditions.

Polarity and coding
The positive conductor is identified in green and the negative in white; the outer sheath is green according to IEC coding. Respecting polarity is necessary to avoid measurement errors.
