Description
Belden 1081A 010 is a power limited tray cable for instrumentation and industrial control wiring in raceways, cable trays, and ducts. It features 36 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, it uses individual pair shielding and an overall Beldfoil® shield, finished with a black PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride outer jacket with ripcord. UL Voltage Rating is 300 V (CMG, PLTC, UL AWM 2464), 150 V (ITC), with environmental suitability listed as Indoor/Outdoor, Indoor, Outdoor, Sunlight Resistance.
