Description
This 24 AWG 3-pair MachFlex™ RS-485 cable is a 53-ohm, 300V CM-rated data cable built for dependable high-speed data transmission in dynamic, high-flex industrial applications. It features stranded bare copper conductors with Foam Polyethylene (PE) insulation, an overall Beldfoil® shield with a tinned copper braid, drain wire, and a PVC outer jacket.
Beldfoil® is Belden’s patented aluminum/polyester bi-laminate foil shield that provides 100% coverage. This full-coverage foil, working together with the overall 85% tinned-copper braid and the tinned-copper drain wire, improves resistance to EMI/RFI while preserving flexibility for industrial routing.
The MachFlex™ construction is specifically engineered for dynamic, high-flex applications, ensuring robust and durable performance under continuous movement. This design makes the cable a reliable choice for installations requiring constant motion.
Belden supplies this cable on a standard crate pay-off reel, meaning it’s wound on a rigid spool that you place on a reel stand or jacks so the cable can rotate and feed out smoothly and evenly as you pull it into place.
