Belden 1098A 010, Power Limited Tray Cable 8 Triads 16 AWG 600V PVC, Black Jacket

Description
Belden 1098A 010 is a power limited tray cable designed for industrial control and instrumentation wiring in raceways, cable trays, and ducts. It is built with 8 triads of 16 AWG (7x24) BC - Bare Copper conductors and PVC/Nylon - Polyvinyl Chloride + Nylon insulation with ICEA Chart E1 color coding. For noise-sensitive signals, each triad is individually shielded, and the cable also includes an overall Beldfoil® shield with 100% coverage. It is rated 600 V (TC-ER) and 150 V (NPLF) and supports 90°C Dry and 90°C Wet environments with a black PVC outer jacket.
