Belden 9487 010 is a VNTC control instrumentation cable with 1 pair (2 conductor) of 16 AWG stranded (19x29) TC - tinned copper conductors. It uses PVC/Nylon - Polyvinyl Chloride + Nylon insulation and a black PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride outer jacket. This unshielded, power limited tray cable is rated 600 V (TC), 150 V (NPLF) and includes a ripcord for easier jacket removal. It is described for control and instrumentation signals such as 4-20ma and 0-10v in industrial control environments, including raceways, cable trays, and ducts.
