Description
Belden 88103 008 is a low-capacitance computer EIA RS-232/422 cable built with 3 pairs of 24 AWG stranded (7x32) TC - Tinned Copper conductors. It uses FEP - Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (Foam) insulation and a PVDF - Polyvinylidene Fluoride jacket in Gray. For noise rejection, it includes an overall Beldfoil® (100% coverage) + Tinned Copper Braid Shield (65% coverage) with a 24 AWG (7x32) TC drain wire. It is rated CMP with 300 V (CMP) and meets NFPA 262 (UL910), FT6.
