Belden 8162 060, Multi Conductor Computer Cable 2 FS PR 24 AWG PVC
Description
Belden 8162 060 is a multi-conductor computer and digital audio cable designed for RS-232 extended distance and RS-422 applications, as well as computer communications and low-voltage analog/digital control signals. It is built with 2 twisted pairs of 24 AWG stranded (7x32) tinned copper conductors and Datalene® insulation. Each pair is individually Beldfoil® shielded, with an overall 100% Beldfoil® shield plus a tinned copper braid (65% coverage). A PVC jacket in Chrome color completes the construction for indoor installations.
Belden 8162 060 Key Features
- 2 twisted pairs of 24 AWG stranded (7x32) tinned copper conductors for computer communications and control-signal wiring.
- Datalene® insulation supports consistent electrical performance in computer and digital audio signal paths.
- Individually shielded pairs using Beldfoil® shielding to help reduce interference between pairs.
- Overall 100% Beldfoil® shield plus a tinned copper braid (65% coverage) for added noise rejection.
- PVC jacket with Chrome color intended for indoor (Not Riser or Plenum), indoor environments.
- UL voltage rating: 300 V (CM), 300 V (UL AWM 2493).
Belden 8162 060 Applications
- Suited for RS-232 extended distance and RS-422 applications where reliable data communication is required.
