Product Details

IMSA 51-5 Tube Loop Detector Cable - PVC is a single concentric (bunch-stranding) unshielded 19-stranded bare copper inductance loop conductor, encased in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) insulation nylon jacket, available with either black (or orange) PVC loose tube outer sheathing.

51-5 PVC cables are available in both 12 and 14 AVG and both PVC and PE configurations. The cable possesses a temperature range of 60 degrees Celsius and voltage rating of 600V.

The applications of 51-5 PVC cables range from vehicle detection for traffic signal changes to aiding a primary traffic systems control unit in calculating traffic motion numbers. The 51-5 PVC cable’s heavier, yet comparably touch-sensitive construction makes it a high-performance and more weather-resistant choice as a detector cable in both high-density traffic control and count accuracy as well as reliable and durable in climates with harsh or unpredictable weather patterns.

Product Highlights:

• The 51-5 PVC tube configuration has a cable weight range of ~ 36-30 lbs/MFT between 12 and 14 AWG, making it more sturdy and materially dense than the 51-5 HDPE model
• Further optimization and range of choice of either PVC or PE tubing in the 51-5 series allows for further traffic cable customization

Technical Standards:
