Belden 1424A 060, Multi Conductor Computer Cable 12 Pair + 1 24 AWG

Belden 1424A 060 is a multi-pair computer communications cable for EIA RS-232/422 and RS-423 signal transmission, including extended distance applications. It is built with 12 twisted pairs + 1 Conductor using 24 AWG stranded (7x32) TC - Tinned Copper and Datalene® insulation. An overall Beldfoil® shield with 100% coverage and a 24 AWG (7x32) TC drainwire help reduce EMI, and the PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket is rated CM for indoor use.

Key Features

• 12 pair(s) + 1 Conductor construction supports multi-pair signal transmission in one cable.
• 24 AWG stranded (7x32) TC - Tinned Copper conductors support low-voltage analog and digital control signals.
• Overall shield with 100% coverage plus drainwire helps reduce EMI.
• PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket with CM rating supports indoor installations.
