Belden 29501F 010 Applications

• Use in Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) where a dedicated VFD cable is required for drive-to-motor connections.
• Support AC motor and drive systems in industrial settings where flexible motor supply installations are needed.
• Install in applications exposed to high flex, motion, and abrasion where repeated movement and mechanical wear are expected.
• Route through hard-to-reach installation areas where handling benefits from an extra flexible construction.
