Belden 9812 060, Low Capacitance Computer Cable 12PR 28 AWG SH PVC
Description
Belden 9812 060 is a low capacitance computer EIA RS-232/422 cable designed for data and control signal transmission. It is built with 12-pair 28 AWG stranded (7x36) tinned copper conductors and polypropylene insulation, plus an overall Beldfoil® (100% coverage) and tinned copper braid shield (90% coverage). A 28 AWG stranded tinned copper drain wire supports termination, and the PVC jacket in Chrome is intended for indoor installations. UL Voltage Rating is 30 V, with a UL temperature of 60°C and an operating temperature range of -30°C to +60°C.
