Description
Belden 8318 060 is a low capacitance computer EIA RS-232 cable designed for extended distance communications and low voltage signal transmission. It features 18 twisted pairs of 22 AWG stranded (7x30) TC - Tinned Copper conductors with 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). The cable is finished with a PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket in Chrome and carries a UL voltage rating of 300 V (CMG), 300 V (UL AWM 2464).
Belden 8318 060 Key Features
- 18 twisted pairs support multi-pair signal wiring in a single cable.
- 22 AWG stranded (7x30) TC - Tinned Copper conductors are specified for stranded signal conductors.
- Overall Beldfoil® Shield (100% coverage) plus Tinned Copper braid shield (65% coverage) is specified for noise rejection.
- PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket in Chrome provides the specified outer jacket material and color.
- UL voltage rating: 300 V (CMG), 300 V (UL AWM 2464).
Belden 8318 060 Applications
- Use in RS-232 extended distance applications where low capacitance is needed for extended distance communications.
- Install for computer communications that require reliable low voltage signal transmission.
- Support low voltage analog signals (4-20ma, 0-10v, ...) in control and signal wiring.
- Connect low voltage digital control (24v, …) signals.
