Belden Xtra-Guard 2 Performance Cable Series Control Cable, 30m Cable Length, 2 Cores - 25072 BK005
This control cable is designed for industrial signal and control circuits in automation and electrical installations. It comprises two conductors with tinned copper strands and a black PVC outer sheath, providing a flexible connection for equipment operating within a wide temperature range. The cable is unscreened and rated for 300V use, making it suitable for general-purpose control wiring where a flame-retardant construction is required.

What conductor construction ensures flexibility for tight bends?
Each conductor contains 19 tinned copper strands, which reduces stiffness and aids installation around bends.
How should bend radius be managed during installation?
Maintain a minimum bend radius of 10x the cable diameter to prevent conductor stress.
What labelling or marking is present on the cable?
The jacket is printed with manufacturer identification, part details and sequence footage marking for traceability.
What mechanical loads can the cable tolerate during pull‑in?
Maximum permissible pull tension is 41 lb during installation to avoid damage.
Which regulatory designations apply to its construction?
The cable conforms to recognised AWM styles and meets fire test and low‑voltage directives applicable to control wiring.
