Description
Belden 1048A 010 is a power-limited tray cable for industrial control and instrumentation circuits, including DCS, PLC, and 4-20ma signal applications. It is built with 2 pair 18 AWG (7x26) Bare Copper Conductors and PVC/Nylon Insulation with ICEA Chart E1 color code identification. For noise rejection, each pair is individually shielded, and the cable includes an overall Beldfoil® Shield with 100% coverage. It is rated 600 V (TC-ER) and 150 V (NPLF) and uses a black PVC Outer Jacket designed for 90°C Dry/Wet service with SUN RES and DIR BUR suitability.
