Alpha Wire Alpha Essentials Communication & Control Control Cable, 5 Cores, 0.23mm² 24 AWG, Screened, 30 m, Slate

Belden Alpha Essentials Communication & Control Series Control Cable, 30m Cable Length, Slate Jacket - 1215C SL005

This control cable is a five-core screened PVC cable designed for communication and control installations in industrial environments. It provides multiconductor signal and control connectivity with a slate jacket and tin-plated copper conductors, suitable for routine wiring, instrumentation and low-voltage control circuits where a screened, flame-retardant flexible cable is required.

Features & Benefits

• 300V rating enables use in standard control circuits
  Stranded tin copper conductors 7-strand for flexibility
  Screened construction reduces EMI for sensitive signals
  Flame-retardant jacket enhances safety in confined spaces
  Operating range −20°C to 80°C for varied ambient conditions
  Slate PVC outer sheath resists mechanical and environmental wear

**Applications**

• Suitable for remote circuit controls in automation panels
  Ideal for intercom and sound system wiring in venues
  Used for control and signal wiring on production equipment
  Can be used for instrumentation between sensors and controllers
  Suitable for telephone and low-voltage building control runs

What conductor construction gives the cable flexibility?

Conductors use tin-plated copper MADE from seven fine strands per core, which increases bendability and eases routing in confined trays.

How does the cable maintain signal integrity in electrically noisy locations?

An overall screened layer combined with a tinned copper drain provides a return path and attenuates electromagnetic interference for improved signal stability.

What environmental limits apply during prolonged operation?

The cable is specified for continuous use between −20°C and 80°C, allowing deployment across standard industrial temperature ranges without insulation degradation.

What approvals and ratings govern safe selection for installations?

The cable meets recognised CE, CSA and UL approvals for communication and control applications at 300V and is built to flame-retardant jacketing standards.

How Compact is the cable for routing in equipment?

The assembly has a nominal outside diameter of approximately 4.75mm, allowing installation where space and bend radius are constrained.
