Belden 3106A 010, Multi Conductor 22 AWG PVC Black
Description
Belden 3106A 010 is a shielded RS-485 cable with 1 pair 22 AWG (7x30) TC - Tinned Copper conductors plus 1 Conductor 22 AWG (7x30) TC - Tinned Copper. It uses a Tape + braid (overall foil & braid) shield design with a Bi-Laminate (Alum+Poly) foil and a Tinned Copper (TC) braid, and it includes a 22 AWG (7x30) TC drainwire. The PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket is Black, and the cable is rated CM and PLTC with a UL Voltage Rating of 300 V (CM, PLTC).
Belden 3106A 010 Key Features
- Supports RS-485 data communication with a Nom. characteristic impedence (Pair(s)) of 120 Ohm.
- Built with 1 pair 22 AWG (7x30) TC - Tinned Copper conductors plus 1 Conductor 22 AWG (7x30) TC - Tinned Copper for additional connectivity needs.
- Provides noise protection using Tape + braid (overall foil & braid) shielding: Bi-Laminate (Alum+Poly) foil at 100% coverage plus a Tinned Copper (TC) braid at 65% coverage.
- Includes a 22 AWG (7x30) TC drainwire to support shield termination.
- Finished with a PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket in Black for indoor and outdoor, sunlight resistance, and oil resistance environments.
- Meets CM and PLTC ratings and carries a UL Voltage Rating of 300 V (CM, PLTC).
Belden 3106A 010 Applications
