Description
Belden 1508A B59 is a CM-rated, single-pair audio/control cable with 24 AWG stranded tinned copper conductors and a PVC jacket for indoor installations. It uses PP - Polypropylene insulation and an overall Beldfoil® tape shield with 100% coverage, plus a 24 AWG (7x32) TC drainwire to support noise reduction in sensitive low-voltage circuits. Electrical performance includes a 300 V UL voltage rating, 28.3 Ohm/1000ft Nom. conductor DCR, and 31 pF/ft (100 pF/m) Nom. capacitance Cond-to-Cond.
Belden 1508A B59 Key Features
- CM-rated construction supports NEC / UL compliance: Article 800, CM and CEC / C(UL) compliance: CM.
- 24 AWG stranded tinned copper conductors (7x32) in a 1-pair design for audio/control cable installations.
- Overall Beldfoil® tape shield with 100% coverage and a 24 AWG (7x32) TC drainwire to help reduce noise in sensitive low-voltage circuits.
- PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride outer jacket with PP - Polypropylene insulation for indoor use.
- 300 V UL voltage rating with 28.3 Ohm/1000ft Nom. conductor DCR and 31 pF/ft (100 pF/m) Nom. capacitance Cond-to-Cond.
Belden 1508A B59 Applications
- Designed for use with automatic stripping equipments to support efficient preparation during installation and termination.
- Supports low voltage analog signals (4-20ma, 0-10v, ...) where stable signal transfer is needed in control and instrumentation circuits.
- Handles low voltage digital control (24v, …) in control wiring where consistent connectivity is required.
- Suitable for line level audio runs where shielding is used to help reduce noise in sensitive circuits.
- Meets computer communication connections where a shielded, single-pair construction is specified.
- Commonly used for panel wiring in indoor environments.
