Belden 735A8 008, Coax 8C 26 AWG FRPVC Gray
Description
Belden 735A8 008 is a DS3/DS4 central office coax cable with 8 coaxes built on Sub-miniature 59 construction for 75 Ohm performance. Each coax uses a 26 AWG Solid SC - Silvered Copper conductor with PE - Polyethylene (Foam) insulation and dual shielding of Beldfoil® (100%) plus a 95% Tinned Copper (TC) braid. PVC inner and outer jackets support Indoor - Riser use with CMR compliance, and each inner jacket is gray and numbered for easier identification. Electrical performance includes 15 - 95 MHz: 30 dB (min.) return loss and UL Voltage Rating: 300 V (CMR, CMG).
Belden 735A8 008 Key Features
- This 8-coax DS3/DS4 central office coax design uses Sub-miniature 59 construction.
- It provides 75 Ohm nominal characteristic impedance for DS3/DS4 signal transmission.
- Each coax includes a 26 AWG Solid SC - Silvered Copper conductor.
- Dual shielding combines Beldfoil® (Bi-Laminate (Alum+Poly)) tape at 100% coverage with a 95% Tinned Copper (TC) braid.
- PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride inner and outer jackets support Indoor - Riser, Indoor use with NEC / UL compliance: CMR and CEC / C(UL) compliance: CMG.
- Gray inner jackets are numbered for easier identification.
Belden 735A8 008 Applications
- Use it in central office wiring when multiple coax runs are needed in a single cable.
- Support DS3/DS4 interconnect links in telecommunications infrastructure with this cable.
- Integrate it into 734/735 telecommunications systems for structured signal distribution and interconnection.
- Install it for switchboard communications when organized, numbered coax identification helps with routing and maintenance.
