Belden 8165 060, 24 AWG 5 Pair Shielded PVC Jacket Cable, Chrome Jacket
Description
Belden 8165 060 is a low-capacitance computer and digital audio cable for Computer EIA RS-232/422 and other low-voltage analog and digital control applications. It is built with 5 twisted pairs of 24 AWG stranded (7x32) TC - tinned copper conductors and a PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket in Chrome. For noise rejection, it includes an individual pair shield of Tape, Bi-Laminate (Alum+Poly), 100%, plus an overall Tape, Bi-Laminate (Alum+Poly), 100% shield and a Braid, Tinned Copper (TC), 65% shield with a drain wire. UL Voltage Rating is 300 V (CM), 300 V (UL AWM 2493).
