Description
Belden 1078A 010 is a UL instrumentation power limited tray cable for industrial control and signal applications, including DCS and PLC systems, control circuits, and instrumentation loops (4-20ma, 0-10v, ...). It features 12 twisted pairs of 20 AWG (7x28) BC - Bare Copper conductors plus 1 22 AWG (7x30) BC - Bare Copper comm wire, insulated with PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride. For noise protection, the pairs are individually shielded, and the cable includes an overall Tape, Bi-Laminate (Alum+Poly), 100% shield under a black PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride outer jacket with a ripcord. UL Voltage Rating is 300 V (CMG, PLTC, UL AWM 2464), 150 V (ITC), with Indoor/Outdoor and Sunlight Resistance suitability.
