Description
Belden 8348 060 is a multi-pair computer EIA RS-232 cable designed for extended distance RS-232 links, computer communications, and low voltage analog and digital control signals. It features 18 pairs of 24 AWG stranded (7x32) tinned copper conductors with semi-rigid PVC insulation. For noise rejection, it uses a dual overall shield: Beldfoil® (100% coverage) plus tinned copper braid shield (65% coverage), and a PVC jacket in Chrome. It is rated 300 V (CMG) and 300 V (UL AWM 2464) for indoor use.
