Particular Applications Of 18/30 SOOW Cable:

In circuits up to 3 amps, the 18/30 cable is used for:

  • Control systems requiring numerous signal or trigger lines

  • Low-voltage instrumentation and data acquisition setups

  • Wiring for sensors, relays, and monitoring devices

  • Alarm and security system installations

  • Multi-channel audio, intercom, or PA system connections

  • Industrial automation panels with many I/O channels

  • Robotics and machinery requiring flexible cable harnessing

  • Lighting control systems with multiple switch circuits

  • Communication wiring in processing, utility, or transport facilities

Construction:

Conductor: 

Stranded, bare, and fully annealed copper conductor, Class K per ASTM B174. Suitable for harsh conditions. The cable has 30 flexible conductors.

Insulation:

Flexible Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer EPDM insulation resists fire, abrasion, oil, mechanical impact, sunlight, ozone, air, water, acids, alkalis, and weather.

Jacket:

 Black Chlorinated Polyethylene CPE is a thermoplastic polymer jacket that has superior resistance to chemicals and flames. The jacket is impressively flexible and durable.

Applications
SOOW is a flexible, water- and weather-resistant, portable cable built for demanding environments. Its oil-resistant jacket and EPDM insulation offer excellent protection against abrasion, chemicals, sunlight, and moisture. The cable remains intact even when exposed to hot surfaces, making it ideal for compressors, industrial machinery, push-button remotes, control systems, and water purification equipment. Commonly used in mills, marinas, mines, and industrial, commercial, and residential facilities, SOOW cable is valued for its durability and flexibility. It is rated for 600 volts and performs reliably in temperatures from -40°C to 90°C, maintaining flexibility in both hot and cold conditions
