Belden 8104 060, Multi Conductor Computer Cable 4 Pair 24 AWG PVC
Description
Belden 8104 060 is a 4-pair, 24 AWG computer EIA RS-232/422 cable designed for data and control signal transmission. It uses 24 AWG stranded (7x32) tinned copper conductors in twisted pairs with Datalene® insulation. For shielding, it combines an overall Beldfoil® shield (100% coverage) with a tinned copper braid shield (65% coverage) and includes a 24 AWG stranded (7x32) tinned copper drain wire. The cable is finished with a PVC jacket in Chrome and carries a UL Voltage Rating of 300 V (CM), 30 V (UL AWM 2919).
Belden 8104 060 Key Features
- 4 twisted pairs support organized pair construction for computer EIA RS-232/422 signal wiring.
- 24 AWG stranded (7x32) tinned copper conductors are specified for data and control signal transmission.
- Datalene® insulation with PE - Polyethylene (Foam) insulation material is used on the conductors.
- Overall shield: Beldfoil® (100% coverage) + tinned copper braid shield (65% coverage) for noise rejection.
- A 24 AWG stranded (7x32) tinned copper drain wire is included with the shield system.
- PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride outer jacket in Chrome.
- UL Voltage Rating: 300 V (CM), 30 V (UL AWM 2919).
Belden 8104 060 Applications
