Belden 8760MN 008, SpaceMaker 18 AWG 1 Pair Shielded 300 V PVC

Belden 8760MN 008 SpaceMaker™ is a compact 18 AWG 1 pair shielded cable for space-constrained machine and device wiring. It features 2 Conductor 18 AWG (41x34) TC - Tinned Copper conductors with PP - Polypropylene insulation, plus an overall Beldfoil® tape shield and a 20 AWG (19x32) TC drainwire for noise protection. Rated 300 V (UL AWM 2937) and suitable for indoor use, it supports low voltage analog signals (4-20ma, 0-10v, ...), low voltage digital control (24v, …), line level audio, computer communication, and panel wiring. The SpaceMaker™ design provides up to 52% reduced cable area and up to 74% tighter bend radius compared to industry standard electronic cables, with increased cable life and 1 million flex life cycles for moving environments.
