Belden Alpha Essentials Communication & Control Series Control Cable, 305m Cable Length, 8 Cores - 1178C SL001

This control cable provides multiconductor connection for control and signalling tasks in industrial and automation environments. It comprises eight insulated conductors within a slate PVC jacket and is designed for unscreened installations where a flexible, stranded conductor arrangement and recognised approvals are required.

Features & Benefits

• 300V voltage rating for standard control circuits
• Tin-plated copper conductors with seven strands each for flexibility
• VW-1 and FT4 fire behaviour to limit flame propagation
• Operating temperature range -20 to 80°C for varied environments
• 6.17mm overall diameter for Compact cable routing
• Unscreened construction reducing weight and installation complexity

Applications

• Suitable for factory automation control wiring
• Ideal for connecting PLC I/O modules and relays
• Used with machine tools for internal harnessing
• Can be used for panel-to-panel signal distribution
• Suitable for building services control circuits

What conductor construction supports repeated flexing?

Each conductor is MADE from tin-plated copper composed of seven fine strands, which increases flexibility and aids frequent bending during installation or movement.

What marking and identification are present on the outer sheath?

The jacket carries manufacturer and product identification text including type and temperature ratings in accordance with the factory print specification.

How is packaging supplied for long runs?

Continuous lengths are available on spools with standard options including 1000 ft, 500 ft and 100 ft sizes, with bulk made-to-order put-ups also offered.

Which regulatory approvals does it meet for use in installations?

It holds UL, CSA and CE recognitions and adheres to applicable low-voltage and flame test standards.

What electrical characteristic assists design calculations?

Nominal conductor DC resistance is provided for engineering purposes to support voltage-drop and power-loss assessments.
