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

Belden Alpha Essentials Communication & Control Series Control Cable, 30m Cable Length, 5 Cores - 6329 SL005

This control cable is a screened, five-core connection designed for industrial control and signal transmission in automation and electrical systems. It combines tinned copper conductors and a PVC outer sheath to deliver consistent performance across typical plant environments, operating between -20°C and 80°C.

Features & Benefits

• 300V rating provides safe low-voltage signal distribution
  Screened construction reduces electromagnetic interference on signals
  Tin copper 7-strand conductors improve flexing longevity
  VW-1 FT4 flame-retardant materials enhance fire performance
  Slate PVC jacket resists abrasion and environmental exposure
  5-core configuration simplifies multi-signal cabling runs

**Applications**

• Suitable for programmable logic controller signal wiring
  Ideal for factory-floor motor control circuits
  Used with sensor arrays and actuator networks
  Can be used for panel interconnect and Terminal strip feeds
  Suitable for machine tool cabling where screening is required

What is the conductor construction and why does it matter for movement?

Each conductor is MADE from tinned copper composed of seven strands to balance conductivity with flexibility, reducing fatigue in repeated flexing applications.

How is the cable shield implemented and what electrical benefit does it provide?

The shield combines aluminium/Mylar tape with a tinned copper braid and a drain wire to provide a continuous earth path and lower shield resistance, improving noise rejection.

What printing and marking can be expected on the outer sheath?

The jacket carries manufacturer identification and cable type markings indicating conductor size, core count, screening and temperature rating for installation traceability.

What mechanical limits should installers observe during routing?

Follow a minimum bend radius of ten times the cable diameter and limit pull tension to the specified maximum to avoid conductor or jacket damage.
