UL2096 PVC Shielded Multi-Conductor Cable

UL2096 is a PVC-insulated multi-conductor cable manufactured by Xinya Electronic Co., Ltd. The catalogue describes it as a shielded construction. It is supplied in 49 recorded constructions spanning 18–30 AWG, with an overall diameter of 3.2–8.4 mm, cut to the length you order.

UL2096 at a glance

• 18–30 AWG, across 49 listed constructions
• Stranded conductor throughout the documented range
• Insulation wall 0.4–0.46 mm
• Overall diameter 3.2–8.4 mm
• Max. conductor resistance 23.2–381 Ω/km at 20 °C DC (roughly 7.1–116.1 Ω per 1,000 ft)
• All 49 listed rows carry a shield (Al-mylar)

How UL2096 compares with its nearest alternatives

UL2096 and UL2405 share the PVC insulation. Overall diameter runs 3.2–8.4 mm for UL2096 against 3.4–6.6 mm for UL2405. UL2405 is the tighter of the two, so UL2096 is the option to take only when the larger diameter is acceptable.

UL2096 and UL2095 sit in the same catalogue group but are rated differently. Overall diameter runs 3.2–8.4 mm for UL2096 against 2.6–7.4 mm for UL2095. UL2095 is the tighter of the two, so UL2096 is the option to take only when the larger diameter is acceptable. Insulation wall is 0.4–0.46 mm against 0.25–0.31 mm.

Conductor, core count and shielding

Every construction listed for UL2096 is a stranded conductor, which suits harnesses and assemblies that are flexed or routed around a bend. The resistance column gives the maximum permitted value for the conductor at 20 °C DC.

Core counts run from 2 to 8 in the documented range. Overall diameter grows with core count, so the figure to quote for gland, grommet and connector selection is the finished-cable diameter column rather than the single-core insulation diameter.

How to read the UL2096 table

“Insulation O.D. (mm)” is measured over the insulation, not over a jacket, tape or braid. “Jacket O.D. (mm)” is the finished cable diameter, which is the value to quote for gland, grommet and connector sizing. Conductor resistance is stated at 20 °C DC per kilometre — divide by 3.281 for ohms per 1,000 ft.

Questions buyers ask about UL2096

Which sizes of UL2096 are available?

18–30 AWG, across the 49 constructions in the table below. Sizes outside the table can be quoted on request.

Is UL2096 a stranded conductor?

Every construction documented for this line is stranded. Confirm the strand count you need — the “n/mm” figure in the table — because resistance and flexibility both depend on it, and two rows at the same size can differ.

What overall diameter does UL2096 run to?

The documented range is 3.2–8.4 mm. Quote the size, not the style alone, when the diameter has to fit a specific gland, grommet or channel.
