Belden 3079A 060, Databus ISA SP 50 PROFIBUS 1 pair 22 AWG PVC
Description
Belden 3079A 060 is a PROFIBUS databus cable with 1 pair of 22 AWG solid BC - Bare Copper conductors, PE - Polyethylene (Foam) insulation, and a PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride outer jacket. It uses a Beldfoil®+Tinned Copper Braid(65%) Shield for reliable data transmission in harsh environments. The cable is suitable for outdoor installations exposed to temperature extremes, humidity/moisture, dust, and oil. It is rated for PLTC CMG and AWM 20201 and features 150 Ohm nominal characteristic impedence.
