Description
Belden 1079A 010 is a power limited tray cable for industrial control and instrumentation wiring in raceways, cable trays, and ducts. It is built with 16 twisted pairs of 20 AWG (7x28) BC - Bare Copper conductors with PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride insulation, plus 1 communication wire of 22 AWG (7x30) BC - Bare Copper. For noise rejection in control circuits, each pair is individually shielded, and the cable also includes an overall Beldfoil® shield with 100% coverage. A black PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride outer jacket with sunlight resistance supports indoor/outdoor use, with ratings including PLTC ITC CMG and UL AWM 2464.
