Belden 9740MN 008, SpaceMaker Cable 18 AWG 2C Unshielded 300 V PVC

Belden 9740MN 008 SpaceMaker™ Cable is an 18 AWG 2-Conductor unshielded cable designed for compact, flexible routing in space-constrained wiring and moving applications. It uses 41x34 TC - Tinned Copper conductors with PP - Polypropylene insulation and a PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride outer jacket. Key ratings and compliance include 300 V, AWM 2937, Indoor suitability, and EU CE Mark with RoHS 2 / WEEE directive compliance. It targets long service life with 1 million flex life cycles.

Belden 9740MN 008 Key Features

• The SpaceMaker™ compact design supports reduced cable area for tighter routing in space-constrained wiring.
• Its flexible construction is intended to support a tighter bend radius compared to industry standard electronic cables.
• Designed for long service life with 1 million flex life cycles.
• Increased flex life supports use in moving envirnments.
• Suitable for use in NFPA 79 applications.
