MIL 16878D Type E- PTFE Multi Conductor Plenum Cable Type STJ Shielded with TFE Tape Jacket

Type STJ shielded PTFE plenum cable is used for communication, control, and alarm applications that require high-temperature performance, shielding, and resistance to acids, oils, flame, moisture, solvents, and fungus. The page lists those applications and environmental resistances for this cable type.

The overall silver-plated copper braid shield helps protect the cable’s signal conductors from electrical interference. On this product, the page lists a 90% overall braided silver-plated copper shield, which is useful in sensitive communication, control, and alarm wiring applications.

A TFE tape jacket is used where the cable needs a high-performance outer covering for demanding environments. This product’s construction lists color-coded Type E extruded TFE insulation with a white TFE tape wrap jacket.

PTFE plenum cable is often selected for air-handling or plenum spaces when the cable construction and rating meet the project’s code and installation requirements. Buyers should confirm that the cable is appropriate for the specific environment, system type, and applicable building standards.

Shielding helps protect signal integrity in applications where electrical noise or interference could affect communication, control, or alarm circuits. A shielded multi-conductor plenum cable may be preferred when multiple conductors are routed through sensitive or electrically active environments.
