Belden Alpha Essentials Communication & Control Series Control Cable, 152m Cable Length, 8 Cores - 1298C SL002

This control cable provides screened multi-core connectivity for automation and control systems where reliable signal integrity and flexible routing are required. It is supplied on a continuous reel suitable for panel wiring and machine tool installations, and it is built with a PVC outer covering in slate that balances flexibility with mechanical protection for industrial environments.

Features & Benefits

• 8-core screened construction maintains signal integrity during installation
• Tin copper 7-strand conductors ensure flexibility and corrosion resistance
• Voltage rating 300V supports common control and signalling circuits
• Flame-retardant classification FT4 VW-1 reduces fire propagation risk
• Operating range -20°C to 80°C allows use across varied ambient conditions

Applications

• Suitable for discrete I/O wiring in automated assembly lines
• Ideal for control panels in manufacturing equipment
• Used with motor starters and relay racks for signal distribution
• Can be used for sensor and actuator cabling in machines

How is the screening provided and how does it terminate?

Shielding is a laminated aluminium/mylar tape with a stranded drain conductor for straightforward termination to earth or chassis at panels.

What are the conductor construction and insulation details?

Each core comprises a 22 AWG conductor formed from seven tin-plated copper strands with nominal PVC insulation for dielectric separation.

What form factors and lengths are available for supply?

The product is offered on reels with continuous lengths including 1000 ft, 500 ft and 100 ft spools to suit different installation scales.

Which markings and regulatory references appear on the jacket?

The outer sheath is printed with manufacturer identification, type designation, temperature rating and applicable UL/CSA/CE references for traceability.

What mechanical handling limits should be observed during installation?

The cable has a recommended minimum bend radius of ten times the cable diameter and a maximum pull tension of 49 lb for safe routing.
