Description
Belden 8303 060 is a low capacitance computer EIA RS-232 cable designed for extended distance communications and reliable low voltage signal transmission. It is built with 3 twisted pairs of 22 AWG Stranded (7x30) TC - Tinned Copper conductors and SR-PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride (Semi-Rigid) insulation. For noise rejection, it uses an overall Beldfoil® shield (100% coverage) plus a Tinned Copper braid shield (65% coverage), finished with a PVC jacket in Chrome.
