Description
Belden 3072F C55 Blue Hose® is a 1 pair 18 AWG control and data cable designed for harsh environment industrial networks, including IIoT and factory or process automation. It uses 18 AWG stranded (7x26) tinned copper conductors with flame-retardant PP insulation and a Blue & White color code. For noise immunity, it features an overall Beldfoil® shield (100% coverage) plus a tinned copper braid (55% coverage), finished with a sunlight resistant PVC outer jacket. Electrical performance includes 78 Ohm nominal impedance, 19.5 pF/ft (64.0 pF/m) capacitance, and voltage ratings up to 600 V (TC), 300 V (CMG, PLTC), and 150 V (ITC).
