Description
Belden 8148 060 is a multi-pair computer communications cable for RS-232 extended distance applications, RS-485 applications, and other low voltage analog and digital control signals. It is built with 18 pair(s) of 28 AWG stranded (7x36) TC - Tinned Copper conductors and a PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket in Chrome. For EMI/RFI protection, it includes an overall Bi-Laminate (Alum+Poly) shield with 100% coverage plus a Tinned Copper (TC) braid with 65% coverage and a 28 AWG (7x36) TC drain wire. It is rated UL Voltage Rating: 30 V (UL AWM 2919) and UL temperature: 80°C (UL AWM 2919).
Belden 8148 060 Key Features
- The 18 pair(s) construction supports multi-pair signal and control wiring in a single cable.
- 28 AWG stranded (7x36) TC - Tinned Copper conductors support flexible terminations and consistent conductivity.
- The dual-shield design uses a Bi-Laminate (Alum+Poly) tape shield (100% coverage) plus a Tinned Copper (TC) braid (65% coverage) for EMI/RFI protection.
- A 28 AWG (7x36) TC drain wire supports shield termination.
- PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket with Jacket Color: Chrome.
- UL Voltage Rating: 30 V (UL AWM 2919).
- UL temperature: 80°C (UL AWM 2919).
Belden 8148 060 Applications
- Use it for RS-232 extended distance applications where multi-pair signal wiring is needed.
- Support RS-485 applications for low voltage communications and control signaling.
- Install it in computer communications setups that require a multi-pair communications cable.
- Apply it to low voltage analog signals (4-20ma, 0-10v, ...) in control and instrumentation circuits.
- Route low voltage digital control (24v, …) where multiple control signals are run together.
- Run it for line level audio signal connections.
- Use it in panel wiring where organized multi-pair terminations are required.
