Belden 89734 008, Multi Conductor Snake Cable 12C 24 AWG FFEP
Description
Belden 89734 008 is a 12-pair, 24 AWG multi-pair cable for Computer EIA RS-232/422 and digital audio applications in plenum spaces. It uses 24 AWG stranded (7x32) tinned copper conductors with foam FEP insulation and individually shielded pairs using Beldfoil® (100% coverage). A 24 AWG stranded tinned copper drain wire is included for each pair, and the cable is finished with a PVDF jacket.
