PT100 Cable 2x0.22 mm² is an industrial sensor cable designed to connect two-wire RTD/PT100 temperature sensors to measurement and control devices. It can be used in connections between PT100 sensor and temperature indicator, controller, data logger, PLC RTD input or control panel.
The cable has a protective construction consisting of fiberglass inner insulation, fiberglass outer construction and steel braid. While fiberglass insulation is preferred in fixed sensor connections where high temperature effects are present, the steel braid helps protect the cable body against friction and surface mechanical effects.
The product is supplied as a single 100-meter roll and can be cut to the required lengths for use in sensor production, machine manufacturing, control panel assembly, and maintenance work. Selling the product by the roll facilitates inventory and production planning for businesses that regularly use cable.
This product is not a thermocouple cable or a power supply cable. It should be used to transmit the measurement signal based on the resistance change of the PT100 sensor. The sensor connection type, the instrument's RTD input, and the cable core count should be checked together before use.
Fiberglass insulation used in the cores and outer construction of the cable is preferred for fixed sensor connections in environments exposed to heat where standard plastic insulations are not suitable. It can be used in PT100 connections near furnaces, machines, process lines and heat treatment equipment.
The fiberglass braided structure helps to electrically separate the cable cores and protect the outer surface. Due to its braided surface structure, the cable should not be crushed, rubbed against sharp edges, or bent to a smaller diameter than necessary during installation.
The exact operating temperature of the cable should not be determined by looking at the fiberglass insulation alone. Conductor construction, outer braid, terminal, connector, splice points and temperature limits of the sensor connection should be evaluated together.
The steel braid on the outside creates an auxiliary mechanical protection layer around the cable. It contributes to the protection of the cable body against friction and light mechanical effects in routes with machine body, panel passage, cable duct and surface contact.
The main function of steel braid is mechanical protection. In applications where the braid is planned to be used as an electrical shield, electrical continuity, coverage structure, connection method and measuring instrument manufacturer's instructions should also be evaluated.
The shield connection or grounding method is not the same in every application. The electrical project, control panel structure and connection instructions of the device manufacturer should be used as the basis.
PT100 is a RTD sensor whose electrical resistance changes depending on temperature. Therefore, the PT100 connection differs from the thermoelectric voltage measurement used in thermocouples.
The 2x0.22 mm² cable can be used in two-wire PT100 connections. Since the total resistance of the cable cores can be added to the measurement result in two-wire systems, connection length, conductor resistance, device settings and desired measurement sensitivity should be evaluated together.
In applications where high sensitivity or long connection distance is required, a three-wire or four-wire PT100 connection can be preferred, if the device supports it. Just because this product is sold in 100 meter rolls does not mean that it should all be used in a single sensor connection.
Fiberglass insulation is a preferred structure in industrial sensor connections where high temperature effects are present. However, the exact temperature limit and environmental suitability of the cable must be determined according to the manufacturer's technical documentation.
The steel braid does not transform the cable into a completely enclosed or leak-proof outer sheath. In environments where there is moisture, liquid, oil, chemicals or dense dust, the product's compliance with environmental conditions should also be checked.
The cable should not be subjected to excessive pulling force, crushing, sharp edges or repeated bending. Steel braid helps with mechanical protection, but does not provide unlimited protection against heavy mechanical loads.
The possibility of hot surfaces, moving parts, vibration, liquid contact and mechanical impact should be evaluated together during the assembly route. When necessary, a protective spiral, channel, fitting or connection apparatus should be used.
The cables must be connected to the PT100 sensor and the corresponding RTD terminals of the measuring instrument. Before installation, the sensor connection diagram and the two-wire PT100 input structure of the device should be checked.
In the two-wire PT100 connection, longer connections than necessary should be avoided as the cable resistance may affect the measurement result. In applications with high precision requirements, the effect of cable resistance should be calculated or different connection methods supported by the device should be evaluated.
While preparing the cable end, care should be taken to ensure that the steel braid wires do not come into contact with the measurement cores or device terminals. The shield must be properly removed and the connection area must be isolated in accordance with the application.
The PT100 cable should be routed as far as possible from motor supply lines, inverter outputs, contactor lines and high-current power cables.
Sensor and device terminals must be verified before connection according to the color of the cable cores. Core colors alone do not prove connection function or official standard compliance.
The product is supplied as a single 100-meter roll. Cutting can be done from the roll in lengths required by production, maintenance, panel assembly or field application.
When determining the cutting length, the actual route between the sensor and the measuring instrument, the distance within the panel, the turning points and the mounting allowance required for the terminal connection must be taken into account.
When unrolling, care should be taken to ensure that the cable is not knotted, crushed or bent to a smaller diameter than necessary. The unused section should be stored in a dry, clean area away from the risk of mechanical damage.
Cables used in production and maintenance processes 100-meter roll options are available for bulk purchase. You can choose the number of cores, nominal cross-sectional area, and insulation construction suitable for your application from the thermocouple, PT100, and compensating cables.
This product is intended for sensor manufacturers, maintenance teams, machine manufacturers, automation companies, and control-panel manufacturers that need PT100 cable supplied in 100-meter rolls.
Before ordering, the suitability of the sensor connection type, number of cores, nominal cross-section, insulation structure, ambient temperature and mechanical protection requirement for the application should be checked.
When selecting the PT100 cable, the two-, three- or four-wire connection structure of the sensor; RTD input of the measuring instrument; connection distance; core cross-sectional area; Insulation structure and mechanical protection need should be evaluated together.
This 2x0.22 mm² product has a two-core construction and should be considered for two-wire PT100 connections. A suitable three-core sensor cable must be used in three-wire PT100 systems, and a suitable four-core sensor cable in four-wire systems.
In long connections, the total core resistance of the two-wire cable may affect the measurement result. If measurement accuracy is critical, connection length, compensation possibilities of the device and alternative connection methods should be evaluated within the scope of the application project.
This product should be considered for two-wire PT100 and compatible RTD temperature sensor connections. The connection diagram of the sensor and measuring instrument should be checked.
No. PT100 is a RTD sensor that works with temperature-dependent resistance change. Thermocouples measure the thermoelectric voltage created by different metals.
This statement indicates that the cable consists of two cores and each core has a nominal conductor cross-section of 0.22 mm².
Due to its fiberglass-insulated structure, it can be preferred for fixed sensor connections where high temperature effects are present. The exact operating temperature must be determined according to the manufacturer's technical documentation.
The product is supplied as a single 100-meter roll.
Roll length indicates sales and stock format. When determining the actual connection length, the effect of cable resistance on the measurement result in a two-wire system should be calculated.
Fiberglass insulation helps isolate cable cores and protect the outer construction in industrial sensor connections where temperature effects are present.
The steel braid forms an auxiliary layer of mechanical protection around the cable trunk. It helps protect the cable against friction and surface mechanical effects.
The main function of the steel braid is mechanical protection. In order to be considered an electrical shield, the electrical continuity of the braid, coverage structure, connection method and manufacturer's technical data must be checked.
No. This product is used to connect the temperature measurement signal PT100. It should not be used to power motors, heating elements or other electrical loads.
