Modbus single pair 24awg grey cable is designed for data transmission. Shown here is the most popular size Modbus cable, it is based on Belden 9841 but has a thicker jacket to ensure correct termination into the Modbus connectors. Modbus cables with larger conductors &/or multi-pair versions may also be available on request.
B9841 cable (equivalent to Belden 9841) may be used in Modbus systems but due to the smaller outer diameter they may not fit in certain connectors.
LSF versions produce reduced fumes if burnt compared to standard polyvinyl cloride (PVC) and LSZH provides further increased safety in the case of fire.
Note: low smoke zero halogen / halogen free (LSZH, LSOH, LSHF, OHLS) should not be confused with LSF (low smoke and fume), an in-depth explanation is shown on our LSZH Control Flex front page.
