Description
Belden 1042A 010 is a power limited tray cable designed for industrial control and instrumentation wiring in raceways, cable trays, and ducts. It is built with 12 pair 16 AWG (7x24) bare copper conductors, PVC-NYL insulation, and ICEA Chart E1 color coding for consistent identification. For noise rejection in demanding environments, each pair is shielded, and the cable also includes an overall Beldfoil® shield under a black PVC outer jacket. UL voltage rating is 600 V (TC-ER), 150 V (NPLF).
