🟡 Type K 12-Pair Extension Wire
This Type K multi-pair thermocouple extension cable combines 12 individually numbered Chromel/Alumel pairs within a shielded PVC-jacketed construction for organized multi-point temperature monitoring. The aluminum Mylar shield and drain wire help protect low-level thermocouple signals, while the 220°F (105°C) PVC insulation and outer jacket provide durable protection for industrial instrumentation and control installations.
