Hitachi 2-Core 0.75 sq mm Shielded Signal Cable – 18AWG Twisted Pair for Industrial Automation & BMS (105°C)

Description

Is Signal Interference Costing You Money?

You know the feeling. You install a new building management system (BMS) or an industrial Ethernet network. Everything looks perfect. But then, the data gets choppy. The sensors start giving wrong readings. The screens flicker. You have downtime, and your team is wasting hours checking the equipment when the problem is actually the wire in the wall.Cheap cables skip on shielding. They use thin copper. They crack when you bend them. In industrial environments, this is a disaster. You need a cable that fights off noise. You need a cable that lasts in hot ceilings or cold outdoor boxes. You need a cable that meets strict safety codes without costing a fortune.This is why we built this cable. It is not just a wire. It is a shield for your data. It uses a twisted pair design with double shielding to stop interference. It handles high temperatures up to 105°C. It is built for the real world, not just a lab.


What Makes This 2-Core Cable Special?

This product is a heavy-duty signal cable designed for tough jobs. It uses 18 AWG (0.75 sq mm) stranded copper conductors. Why stranded? Because solid wire breaks if you vibrate it. Stranded wire moves with the machine. It stays connected.The “twisted pair” design is key. Two wires twist around each other. This cancels out noise from motors, lights, and power lines nearby. But we did not stop there. We added a dual shield. First, an aluminum/polyester (AL/PET) tape wraps the core. Then, a copper braid goes over that. This double layer stops even the toughest electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).Inside, you find a 28 AWG drain wire. This wire connects the shield to the ground. It drains away the noise so it does not hurt your equipment. The jacket is PVC or FEP (depending on your need). It resists oil, chemicals, and abrasion.

Where Should You Use This Cable?

This cable is a workhorse. It fits almost anywhere you need to send a signal or power a small sensor. Here are the top use cases we see in the export market:

Building Management Systems (BMS) & HVAC

This is the #1 use. It connects thermostats, smoke detectors, and damper actuators to the main controller. The 0.75 sq mm size is perfect for 24V or 110V control circuits. The shielding stops the HVAC motor noise from messing up the temperature data.

Industrial Automation & Robotics

Use this for encoder feedback, servo motor control, and safety curtains. The oil-resistant jacket handles factory floors. The high flexibility (Class 5) means it works in moving cable chains (drag chains) without breaking.

Data & Security Systems

Because it meets Cat 6 / Class E specs, you can use it for:

  • HDBase-T extenders (video/audio over long distances)
  • Gigabit Ethernet (PoE / PoE+)
  • CCTV camera connections (analog and IP)
  • Access control card readers
Audio & Broadcast

The twisted pair with dual shield is great for balanced audio lines (XLR style) or microphone cables in noisy environments like stadiums or factories.


Why Buy This Specific Hitachi-Style Cable?

You have many choices in China. Why pick this one?1. Real Copper, Not Junk: Some sellers use copper-clad aluminum (CCA). It breaks easy and has high resistance. We use pure annealed tinned copper. It conducts better and does not rust.2. Honest Shielding: We do not use “foil only” to save money. We use Tape + Braid. The braid stops low-frequency noise (motors). The tape stops high-frequency noise (Wi-Fi/Radios). You get both.3. Temperature Tough: Many cables fail at 75°C. Our insulation handles 105°C. You can run this in hot attics or near industrial ovens without melting the jacket.4. Export Ready: We know export rules. We can make this with UL, CSA, or CE markings. We can do CMP (Plenum) for air-handling spaces. We can do LSZH for subways and ships. We label the footage clearly and pack it on strong wooden drums.5. Price vs. Quality: This is not the cheapest cable on Alibaba. But it is the best value. You pay a little more now to avoid replacing the cable in two years.


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use this for 110V power?Yes, but only for low current (under 12A). It is rated 300V/500V. Do not use it for main power lines. It is for control and signal.Is it waterproof?The PVC jacket is water-resistant. For direct burial or underwater, you need an extra armored layer or a specific gel-filled version. Ask us for “2 core 0.75 armored cable” if you need that.What colors are available?Black is standard. We can make Grey, White, Blue, Red, and Yellow. We use band marking or foil printing for number coding.How fast can you ship?For standard PVC jackets, we can ship in 7-10 days. For special FEP or LSZH jackets, it takes 15-20 days. We ship from major ports like Shanghai or Ningbo.Do you have samples?Yes. We can send a 50m or 100m sample coil via DHL/FedEx so you can test the flexibility and shielding in your lab.
