Alpha Wire XTRA-GUARD 2 Series Data Cable, 1 Pairs, 0.35 mm², 30 m, Black Sheath Polyvinyl Chloride

Belden XTRA-GUARD 2 Series Data Cable, 30m Cable Length, Black Jacket - 25481 BK005

This data cable is a single-pair communication cable designed for industrial and electronic signal transmission in automation and control systems. It combines a tinned copper conductor with a robust polymer jacket and foil shielding to maintain signal integrity in demanding environments while operating across a wide temperature range.

Features & Benefits

• 0.35mm² tin copper wire cable delivers consistent conductivity and flexibility
  VW-1 FT1 flame-retardant cable reduces fire propagation risk in installations
  300V single-pair communication cable supports standard low-voltage systems
  7-strand copper conductor cable provides mechanical pliability and fatigue resistance
  -30°C to 90°C temperature-rated cable maintains performance across extremes
  UL CSA CE approved data cable simplifies specification acceptance across regions

**Applications**

• Suitable for fieldbus and single-pair signal runs in factory automation
  Ideal for control-panel wiring in electrical and mechanical assemblies
  Used with shielded sensor cabling to reduce electromagnetic interference
  Can be used for interconnects in test and measurement rigs

What shielding arrangement prevents external interference?

A laminated aluminium/mylar foil wrap surrounds the pair with a tinned copper drain conductor for effective earthing and straightforward termination.

How is the conductor constructed to aid routing and termination?

The conductor comprises seven tinned copper strands (7/30 AWG equivalent) to balance flexibility for routing and reliable solder or crimp terminations.

What jacket material properties support durability in industrial use?

The black polyvinyl chloride outer sheath offers sunlight resistance, abrasion tolerance and a nominal wall thickness tailored for protection without excessive stiffness.

How is pair identification handled during installation?

The single pair uses a white/black colour code to simplify tracing and connection in multi-cable harnesses.

What mechanical limits should be observed during installation?

For installation best practice maintain a minimum bend radius of 10x cable diameter and observe pull tensions below the specified maximum.
