Belden Equiv 8103

Description

Cleveland Cable Company supplies 8103 equivalent multipair cables, designed as premium low-capacitance data cables for high-speed, extended-distance digital communications and instrumentation systems. These cables feature three twisted pairs of 24 AWG plain or tinned flexible stranded copper conductors, insulated with a specialized foamed polyethylene compound for superior protection against electromagnetic interference, comprising a dual-layer overall screen of aluminum foil tape and tinned copper wire braid.

These cables are suited for installation in internal dry or damp environments, offering reliable data logging and high-rate signal security, and are purpose-built to withstand severe electrical noise inside congested industrial enclosures. With an operating voltage of 300V and a temperature range of -30°C to +80°C, they are ideal for RS-232 and RS-422 data networks and low-voltage industrial control loops.

For optimal performance, these cables require careful installation, maintaining a minimum bending radius of ten times the overall diameter, with the integrated drain wire correctly terminated to ensure shielding and ground continuity. The range complies with international benchmarks, meeting the fire safety requirements of UL Style 2919 (AWM) and NEC Type CM ratings, alongside RoHS environmental directives
