Belden 8340 060, Multi Conductor Computer Cable 10 Pair 24 AWG Shield PVC
Description
Belden 8340 060 is a 10 pair Computer EIA RS-232 Cable designed for extended distance communications, panel wiring, and low voltage analog and digital control signals. It uses 24 AWG stranded (7x32) tinned copper conductors with SR-PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride (Semi-Rigid) insulation. For noise rejection, it includes an overall Beldfoil® (100% coverage) plus tinned copper braid shield (65% coverage). The cable is finished with a PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket in Chrome and is rated 300 V (CMG), 300 V (UL AWM 2464).
