Hitachi 2-Core 18AWG Shielded Twisted Pair Cable – 0.85 sq mm Copper Signal & Control Wire

Description

Stop Signal Loss and Machine Downtime Right Now

Do you have trouble with your machines stopping for no reason? Is your sensor data jumping around on the screen? Do you see “ghost” signals or noise in your control system? This is a big headache. It usually happens because of bad cables. Cheap wires pick up noise from motors and lights. They break easily when you move them. They corrode in wet or oily places. When your signal cable fails, your whole line stops. You lose money every minute. You need a cable that fights noise. You need a cable that lasts. You need the Hitachi 2-core shielded cable. It is built for tough industrial jobs. It keeps your signals clean and your machines running smooth.


Why This Hitachi Cable Is the Best Choice for You

This is not just a piece of wire. It is a high-quality tool for your system. We use the Hitachi standard to make it. The core is 18AWG (0.85 sq mm). This size is perfect. It is thick enough to carry power and signals over distance. But it is still thin enough to bend easily. The wires inside are twisted together. This is very important. Twisting cancels out noise from the outside. We wrap the wires in a special shield. This shield blocks electric noise (EMI) and radio noise (RFI). The copper inside is tinned. This means it has a tin coating. Why? Because tin stops rust. Even in wet or chemical factories, the copper stays bright and conductive. The outer jacket is strong. It resists oil, chemicals, and abrasion. You can drag it, twist it, and it won’t crack. This cable solves the pain of weak signals and broken wires.


Inside the Cable: What Makes It So Strong?

Let’s look at the layers. We build this cable to last a long time.

The Conductor (The Heart)

We use high-purity bare copper. The size is 18AWG, which is about 0.85 square millimeters. We plate it with tin. Tin plating is key. It stops oxidation. If the copper touches air or water, it does not turn green or black. It stays shiny. This ensures a good connection for years. The copper strands are flexible. You can route the cable in tight spaces without breaking the wire inside.

The Insulation (The Shield)

Each core has its own insulation. We use PVC or a special polymer. It is color-coded. Usually, you will see black and white, or black and red. This helps you connect it right. The insulation is thick. It stops the two cores from touching each other. This prevents short circuits. It also handles voltage up to 300V or 600V safely.

The Twisted Pair Structure

The two wires are twisted together. Imagine two people holding hands and spinning. This twisting is a trick to fight noise. When noise hits the wire, it hits both wires equally. The receiver cancels this noise out. This is why we call it a “balanced line.” It is perfect for data signals and sensitive control loops.

The Overall Shield (The Armor)

This is the most important part for noisy factories. We wrap the twisted pair in an aluminum foil shield. Sometimes we add a copper braid over it. This metal layer acts like a cage. It catches all the bad noise from motors, welders, and fluorescent lights. It drains this noise to the ground. Only the clean signal goes to your controller.

The Outer Sheath (The Skin)

The outside jacket is black and tough. It is usually PVC or PUR. PUR is better if you have oil or cold weather. The sheath is flexible. It does not get stiff in the cold. It does not get sticky in the heat. It has a minimum bend radius of 8 times the diameter. You can pull it through cable chains (drag chains) easily.

Where Can You Use This Cable?

This cable fits many places. It is a “general purpose” industrial cable. You can use it almost anywhere you need a strong signal.

Factory Automation

Use it for PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) wiring. Connect sensors to the PLC. Connect the PLC to servo motors. It works great for encoder signals. The twisting stops the servo noise from messing up the data.

Robotics and Drag Chains

Robots move a lot. Cables inside the robot arm bend millions of times. This cable is high-flex. It resists “metal fatigue.” It won’t snap after a few months of moving. It is perfect for the cable carrier (drag chain).

CCTV and Security

You can use it for low-voltage camera power and control. The shield stops video interference. You get a clear picture without “snow” on the screen.

Audio and Broadcast (Balanced Lines)

Because it is a twisted pair with a shield, it works for professional audio (XLR type connections). It stops the “hum” from power lines.

Marine and Outdoor

The tinned copper and black PVC jacket resist water and UV rays. It is good for boat wiring or outdoor sensors. It does not crack in the sun.
