Single pair 22-14awg unscreened belden alternative data cables. Designed for use in instrumentation, security, data, bus & audio applications. This cable type is suitable for use where protection against electrical interference is not required.
These alternatives to Belden cables have small overall diameters and come in polyvinylchloride (PVC) or low smoke and fume (LSF) as standard.
LSF material offers reduced smoke emission / fire propagation compared with standard PVC but may still release hydrogen chloride (HCL) if burnt, there is no standard governing the HCL emissions of LSF cable. LSF should not to be confused with Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) which guarantees max. 0.5% HCL emissions. For more information please see the in-depth explanation shown on our LSZH Control Flex front page.
These cables are often available in Armoured, Duct Grade or LSZH versions on request. Please contact us for more information.
