Applications
Suitable for installation in wet or dry locations. Cable jackets are sunlight
resistant, impervious to moisture and vapor penetration and nonpropagating.
Overall Shield
Recommended for use in instrumentation and control applications where
signals are transmitted in excess of 100 millivolts except in areas where
high voltage and current sources create excessive noise interference. The
foil shield with drain wire provides 100% coverage for maximum shield
effectiveness.
Individually Shielded and Overall Shielded
Individually shielded pairs or triads with an overall shield are
recommended for use in instrument and control applications where
optimum noise rejection is required. Individual pair/triad shields are fully
isolated from each other and contain a separate drain wire for grounding
to provide maximum protection from crosstalk and common mode
interference. Cables with an overall shield provide additional electrostatic
noise protection.

Belden® Variable-Frequency
Drive (VFD) Cables
1,000V UL Flexible Motor Supply
Cable
Designed to overcome the problems and limitations of
other cabling systems used for variable-frequency AC
motor drives.
VFD cables carry the power from AC drive systems to AC motors and
must handle not only high power levels, but also extremely high voltage.
Variable-frequency AC motor drive output cables are subject to a harsh
operating environment characterized by high voltage spikes, high noise
levels and adverse environmental conditions. VFD systems exist in both
process and discrete industries such as general assembly, automotive, food
and beverage, pulp and paper and petrochemical.
Conventional VFD cabling systems experience failure due to corona
discharge or adverse conditions and are difficult and expensive to install.
Belden VFD cable uses a thicker and more stable electrical insulation,
plus features a dual shield. The combination of these two features result in
Belden VFD cable to be installed at a lower cost than the least expensive
VFD cable alternative.
One (1) Four-Conductor Stranded TC Circuit Conductors + (1) Full-sized
Ground; Overall Beldfoil® + 85% TC Braid Shield; Full-sized TC Drain
Wire. AWG: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 and 16.
Ethernet Cables
Made for Tough Industrial
Environments
DataTuff™ twisted pair copper
Industrial Ethernet cables
Designed to withstand the rigors of industrial environmental factors
such as exposure to oil and sunlight, temperature variation, abrasion and
crushing or the presence of electro-magnetic interference (EMI) or radio
frequency interference (RFI).
The DataTuff series includes nine twisted pair designs, verified to meet
Category 5E performance standards and featuring heavy duty sunlight- and oil-resistant jackets. Seven of the cables feature Installable
Performance® with Belden’s patented Bonded-Pairs technology that delivers superior electrical performance even in harsh industrial installations.

Thermocouple and Thermocouple
Extension Wire
Construction
Thermocouple Wire
Conductor material determined by the thermocouple type. Teflon insulated
and jacketed parallel constructions. Teflon Thermocouple Wire is inert to
chemical attack and is flame retardant. Thermocouple Wire is made to
a certain requirement as defined by the National Bureau of Standards.
These standards designate temperature versus voltage levels for certain
thermocouple types.
Thermocouple Extension Wire
Conductor material determined by the Thermocouple extension wire type.
FEP teflon or PVC insulated with FEP teflon or PVC jacket. CL3/PLTC
multipair thermocouple extension cables contain a 22 AWG (7x30) bare
copper orange PVC insulated communication wire.
PVC insulation/PVC jacketed cable specifications:
• UL Subject 13
• UL 1685 Vertical Tray Flame Test
• NEC® Type PLTC Listed, approved for cable tray use in Class 1,
Division 2, hazardous areas and non-hazardous areas, cable trays,
raceways, conduit and supported by messenger wires
FEP insulated/FEP jacketed cable specifications:
• UL Subject 13
• UL 910 Steiner Tunnel Flame Test
• NEC® Type CL3P/PLTC Listed, approved for use in ducts, plenums
and other space used for environmental air
Applications
Unshielded
Parallel non-shielded extension wire may be utilized in low-noise
environments when recommended by the instrument manufacturer.
Overall Shield
Recommended for use in applications where signals in excess of 100
millivolts are transmitted except in areas where high voltage and current
sources create excessive noise interference.
Individually Shielded
Individually shielded pairs are recommended for use in applications where
optimum noise rejection is required. Individual pair shields are fully
isolated from each other and contain a separate drain wire for grounding
to provide maximum protection from crosstalk and common mode
interference.

Physical Characteristics: Thermocouple and Thermocouple Extension Wire
A thermocouple is a temperature measurement sensor that consists of two dissimilar metals joined together at
one end (a junction) that produces a small thermoelectric voltage when the junction is heated. The change in
thermoelectric voltage is interpreted by thermocouple thermometers as a change in temperature.
