Description
Belden 8312 060 is a Computer EIA RS-232 Cable designed for reliable computer communications and extended distance RS-232 applications. It is built with 22 AWG stranded (7x30) TC - Tinned Copper conductors arranged as 12 twisted pairs plus 1 conductor, with SR-PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride (Semi-Rigid) insulation and a PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket. For noise rejection, it uses an overall Beldfoil® (100% coverage) plus Tinned Copper braid shield (65% coverage). Key electrical and compliance details include a UL Voltage Rating of 300 V (CMG), 300 V (UL AWM 2464) and UL temperature of 80°C.
