Description
Belden 8106 060 is a 6-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 with Datalene® insulation in twisted pairs. Shielding includes an overall Beldfoil® shield (100% coverage) plus a tinned copper braid shield (65% coverage) with a 24 AWG stranded (7x32) tinned copper drain wire. The PVC jacket in Chrome supports indoor installations and is rated UL Voltage Rating: 300 V (CM), 30 V (UL AWM 2919).
Belden 8106 060 Key Features
- The 6-pair 24 AWG construction supports multi-pair data and control signal wiring.
- 24 AWG stranded (7x32) tinned copper conductors are paired with Datalene® insulation in twisted pairs.
- Overall shield: Beldfoil® (100% coverage) + tinned copper braid shield (65% coverage) for noise rejection.
- The PVC jacket in Chrome provides a protective outer layer for indoor installations.
- UL Voltage Rating: 300 V (CM), 30 V (UL AWM 2919).
