Belden 82842 877, Multi Conductor Computer P.O.S. Cable 2 Pair 24 AWG FFEP

Description
Belden 82842 877 is a 2 pair 24 AWG multi-conductor cable with a PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket and CMP Plenum rating for indoor installations. It is designed for RS-485, POS, and computer communications in noisy environments over long distances. The cable uses stranded (7x32) tinned copper conductors with FEP - Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (Foam) insulation and twisted pairs. For EMI protection, it includes an overall Beldfoil® shield (100% coverage) plus a tinned copper braid (90% coverage) with a 24 AWG (7x32) TC drainwire.
Belden 82842 877 Key Features
- 2 pair construction with 24 AWG stranded (7x32) TC - tinned copper conductors.
- FFEP-foamed FEP insulation with twisted pairs to support reliable signal performance.
- Overall shielding combines Beldfoil® (100% tape coverage) and a tinned copper braid (90% coverage) with a 24 AWG (7x32) TC drainwire.
- PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride outer jacket in Natural color.
- CMP Plenum rated for indoor use, with NEC / UL compliance: Article 800, CMP and CEC / C(UL) compliance: CMP.
Belden 82842 877 Applications
