Belden 9730 060, Multi Pair Snake Cable 3PR 24 AWG Shielded PVC, Chrome Jacket
Description
Belden 9730 060 is a 3-pair, 24 AWG shielded multi-pair cable designed for EIA RS-232/422 computer communications and digital audio. It features 24 AWG stranded (7x32) tinned copper conductors with Datalene® insulation, along with an individual Beldfoil® shield (100% coverage) on each pair and a 24 AWG stranded tinned copper drain wire. The PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket in Chrome is intended for indoor installations. Key electrical characteristics include 100 Ohm nominal characteristic impedence and a UL voltage rating of 300 V (CM), 30 V (AWM 2919).
