Frequently Asked Questions

What is Belden 88760 used for?
Belden 88760 is designed for 4–20 mA analog signaling, 0–10V control circuits, 24V digital control, line-level audio, and panel wiring in environments that demand extreme temperature resistance, chemical resistance, and plenum-rated fire safety. Its gas/vapor-tight FEP jacket makes it ideal for industrial process control, petrochemical facilities, and HVAC plenum spaces.

Is Belden 88760 plenum rated?
Yes. Belden 88760 carries a CMP (Communications Multipurpose Cable, Plenum) rating under NEC Article 800. It is tested and listed to UL 910 and NFPA 262 standards, making it approved for installation in plenum air-handling spaces without conduit. It also holds a CEC CMP listing and an FT6 flammability rating.

What is the temperature rating of Belden 88760?
Belden 88760 has a UL temperature rating of 150°C and an operating temperature range of -20°C to +150°C. The FEP insulation and FEP jacket provide exceptional thermal stability across this wide range, making it suitable for extreme high-temperature and cold-weather installations.

What type of shielding does Belden 88760 have?
Belden 88760 uses a Beldfoil shield consisting of an aluminum/polyester tape that provides 100% shield coverage. It includes a 20 AWG (7x28 stranding) tinned copper drain wire for reliable ground termination. This shielding effectively rejects electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI).

What is the voltage rating of Belden 88760?
Belden 88760 is rated for 300 volts under its CMP listing. This voltage rating is suitable for low-voltage signal, control, and communications applications.

Can Belden 88760 be used outdoors or direct buried?
Yes. Belden 88760 is rated for outdoor use, is sunlight resistant, oil resistant, and suitable for direct burial applications. The FEP jacket provides a gas/vapor-tight barrier that resists moisture, chemicals, UV exposure, and soil conditions, making it well-suited for underground and exposed outdoor cable runs.

What is the overall diameter of Belden 88760?
The overall diameter of Belden 88760 is 0.148 inches (3.76 mm). This compact profile allows for easy routing through conduit, cable trays, and tight installation spaces.

What are the conductor colors in Belden 88760?
Belden 88760 contains two conductors with black and red FEP insulation. The outer jacket color is red, which provides easy identification in multi-cable installations.

Is Belden 88760 RoHS compliant?
Yes. Belden 88760 is fully compliant with RoHS 2 Directive 2011/65/EU and RoHS 2 Directive 2015/863/EU. It also complies with REACH regulations and the WEEE Directive (2012/19/EU). The cable carries both CE and UKCA marks for European and UK market compliance.

What is the non-plenum equivalent of Belden 88760?
The non-plenum equivalent of Belden 88760 is the Belden 8760. For installations that do not require a plenum fire rating, the 8760 offers similar construction and electrical performance. Belden also offers the 8760MN SpaceMaker variant for space-constrained applications.
