Signal Path and Interface Details
The cable carries the 4–20 mA loop signal from the transmitter to the monitor. Subsequently, it delivers clean data free from ground-loop interference. Its shielded twisted-pair construction rejects noise from nearby motors and drives. Therefore, the 16710-08 preserves measurement accuracy across its full length.
Installation and System Integration
Operators route the cable through conduit or cable trays near rotating machinery. The foil and braid shield blocks electromagnetic interference from variable-frequency drives. Meanwhile, the tinned copper conductors resist corrosion in humid plant environments. A minimum bend radius of 32 mm prevents conductor damage during installation.
Energy Storage and Power Considerations
This passive cable stores no energy and contains no battery or capacitor. It simply passes the loop current to the monitoring system. Consequently, power consumption remains zero for the cable itself. System designers only need to account for the transmitter’s current draw.
