Supported Applications
The Omega EXGG-RSX series provides extension grade thermocouple wires designed for Platinum (-)/Platinum-Rhodium (+) thermocouples, specifically ANSI Type RX and SX. These duplex extension wires are used to extend the signal from a temperature sensor to instrumentation while maintaining compatibility with the specific alloy composition of R and S type sensors.
Operating Conditions & Performance
The series supports maximum operating temperatures that vary by insulation material, as defined in the specification tables. Glass Braid insulated wires (EXGG) are rated for a maximum temperature of 200°C (392°F). Neoflon PFA and Neoflon FEP insulations also support up to 200°C (392°F), while Polyvinyl insulation is limited to 105°C (221°F). The series offers conductor sizes in AWG No. 16, 20, and 24 with solid wire construction for the Type RX/SX configurations listed.
ANSI color coding identifies polarity: Positive Wire is Black, Negative Wire is Red, and Overall insulation is Green for Type RX/SX wires. A note in the documentation states that maximum temperature ratings apply to either the extension grade wire or the insulation, whichever is lower.
Configuration Options
The series encompasses a range of configurations defined by insulation type, AWG size, and spool length options.
- Insulation Types: Glass Braid (EXGG), Neoflon PFA (EXTT), Polyvinyl (EXPP), and Neoflon FEP (EXFF).
- American Wire Gauge (AWG): Available in 16, 20, and 24 AWG for Type RX/SX.
- Conductor Construction: Solid wire is specified for the listed Type RX/SX models. Stranded options are documented within the broader family data sheet but not explicitly enumerated as stocked variants in this specific series bundle.
- Spool Lengths: Variants include lengths such as 25, 100, 200, 30M (meters), 7.5M, 15M, 60M, 150M, and 300M.
- Special Options: To order special limits of error wire, add "-SLE" to the model number before spool length. IEC color code options are available via omega.com.
Key Product Differences
Differences within the series are primarily distinguished by insulation material and gauge size.
- Glass Braid (EXGG): Models EXGG-RS-20 and EXGG-RS-24 feature Glass Braid conductor and overall insulation, rated to 200°C.
- Neoflon PFA (EXTT): Models such as EXTT-RS-20 and EXTT-RS-24 utilize Neoflon PFA for both conductor and overall insulation, also rated to 200°C.
- Polyvinyl (EXPP): The EXPP-RS-16 model uses Polyvinyl insulation with a lower maximum temperature rating of 105°C.
- Neoflon FEP (EXFF): Models like EXFF-RS-20 and EXFF-RS-24 use Neoflon FEP, rated to 200°C.

Bad Decision
The wire is fine. we have pulled into place. Bad decision on mmy part. I expected a much bigger Type "S" wire.

Reliable Support Even with Shipping Issues
I recently made a purchase on DwyerOmega's website. While the delivery took longer than initially expected, I appreciated that their customer service kept me informed throughout the process. Communication was clear and timely, which made the delay much easier to manage. Overall, I'm satisfied with the service and would consider ordering again.

TC wire
Everything went well, thank you for the quick turn-around time.

Is there a reason the R/S wire doesn't come in 16 AWG in glass, pfa, or FEP insulation? It looks like the only 16 AWG option is the Polyvinyl insulation.
Thank you for your inquiry. We believe the best assistance would come from speaking to us directly at 888-826-6342 ask for the Temperature Department Mon. – Fri. (HOURS 8:30AM - 5:00PM EST).

What is the recommended tool to remove the insulation of a PFA cable jacket?
Thank you for your inquiry. A thermal wire stripper can effectively remove PFA insulation from wire without damaging the conductor. Unfortunately, we no longer carry this type of product. You can purchase a similar product from another manufacturer.

Hi, what is the best isulation material for a high temperature enviroment, glass, Neoflon PFA or Neoflon FEP?. Thanks a lot for your support. Regards.
Thank you for your inquiry. That depends on how high you want to expose the extension wire to but the glass, Neoflon PFA and Neoflon FEP all are rated up to a maximum temperature of 200 C (392 F). If you have any further questions, please email the Temperature Tech support at temp@omega.com.
