Belden 1498A 010, Power Limited Tray Cable 24PR 16 AWG 300V PVC, Black Jacket
Description
Belden 1498A 010 is a power-limited tray cable for industrial control and instrumentation wiring in raceways, cable trays, and ducts. It features 24 twisted pairs of 16 AWG stranded bare copper conductors plus a 22 AWG communication wire, with PVC insulation and a black PVC outer jacket. For noise rejection in control circuits, it uses both individual pair shielding and an overall Beldfoil® shield with 100% coverage. UL voltage rating is 300 V (PLTC, CMG, UL AWM 2464), 150 V (ITC).
