Belden 29503F 010, VFD Cable 3C 10 AWG Shielded 1000V TPE, Black Jacket

Belden 29503F 010 is a shielded VFD cable for Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) and AC motor/drive systems where high flex, motion, and abrasion are common. It is built with 3 x 10 AWG TC - Tinned Copper conductors plus a 1 x 10 AWG TC - Tinned Copper ground, using XLPE - Cross-Linked Polyethylene (Thermoset) insulation and a black TPE - Thermoplastic Elastomer jacket. The overall shield combines Beldfoil® tape and an 85% Tinned Copper braid with a 10 AWG Tinned Copper drain to support noise control and signal integrity in demanding VFD environments. It is rated 600/1000V and 90°C Dry/Wet, with environmental suitability for Indoor, Outdoor, Sunlight Resistance, Oil Resistance, and Burial.
