Belden 8790 060U, Multi Conductor 1 Pair 18 AWG Shield PVC
Description
Belden 8790 060U is a line level audio cable designed for low voltage analog signals and control applications. It features 1 pair of 18 AWG (7x26) TC - Tinned Copper stranded conductors with PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride insulation and a Red & White color code. For noise rejection, it uses an 85% Tinned Copper (TC) Spiral Serve / Screen shield under a PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket in Chrome. It is rated 300 V (CMG) with an operating temperature of -20°C to +60°C.
Belden 8790 060U Key Features
