Engineered for medium-to-high density control and instrumentation, it provides a larger 16 AWG conductor gauge for superior signal strength over long distances. The combination of flexible TFFN conductors and a 100% foil shield ensures reliable performance in environments where electromagnetic interference (EMI) is a major concern.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eKey Features of 16-12 Shielded VNTC (TC-ER)\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eExposed Run (TC-ER) Rated:\u003c\/b\u003e This cable is UL 1277 rated for high crush and impact resistance.
