Belden XTRA-GUARD 2 Series Control Cable, 30m Cable Length, 3 Cores - 25463 BK005
This control cable is a screened, three-core product designed for industrial signalling and control in automation and electrical systems. It is intended for installations requiring a robust, flame-retardant conductor assembly with reduced halogen emissions and a Durable outer sheath suitable for varied ambient conditions.
Features & Benefits
• Tin-plated copper conductors reduce corrosion and improve conductivity
• Screened construction limits electromagnetic interference for accurate signals
• Rated 300V to support common low-voltage control circuits
• Operating temperature range -30°C to 90°C for broad environmental use
• Low smoke zero halogen jacket limits toxic emissions in confined spaces
• VW-1/IEC flame resistance improves safety during fire exposure
• Screened construction limits electromagnetic interference for accurate signals
• Rated 300V to support common low-voltage control circuits
• Operating temperature range -30°C to 90°C for broad environmental use

What conductor construction is used to meet flexibility needs?
Each core comprises multiple fine strands of tin-plated copper configured as 20 AWG (7/28) to balance flexibility with electrical performance.
How is the screening implemented and what benefit does it give?
An aluminium/Mylar foil with a tinned-copper drain wire provides overall screening to reduce external electromagnetic disturbance and simplify termination to earth.
What materials form the insulation and outer sheath?
Individual cores are insulated with nominal PVC and the outer jacket is a polyurethane-specified construction that provides mechanical protection and sunlight resistance.
How does the cable behave electrically for system design?
Nominal capacitance and inductance values are provided for engineering calculations, and conductor DCR and overall shield DCR allow accurate resistance estimates for lengths.
What handling limits should be observed during installation?
Follow a minimum bend radius of 10x cable diameter and keep pull tension below the specified maximum to avoid mechanical damage.
