Functional engineering application
The 2 Wire Thermocouple Compensating Cable (KX Grade) is an essential extension cable designed to transfer thermoelectric EMF signals from Type K thermocouple sensors to digital temperature controllers without introducing thermal junction errors. Constructed with Chromel/Alumel alloy cores, fiberglass inner insulation, and an outer stainless steel wire mesh braid, this cable provides superior EMF accuracy and physical protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and mechanical abrasion in harsh boiler rooms across Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, and Burundi.
High-temperature 2-wire Type K thermocouple extension compensating cable with stainless steel wire braid for noise-free signal transmission.

Common questions on this part
Standard copper wire creates secondary thermal junctions at terminal blocks, introducing severe measurement errors. Compensating cable uses matching thermoelectric alloys to maintain accurate mV signal transmission.
In stock at STARNEX Industrial Spares, SMK Business Center, Enterprise Road, Industrial Area, Nairobi.
The fiberglass insulation is rated for continuous operating temperatures up to 260°C.
Available per meter or in discounted 100m factory spools.
