Alpha Wire Alpha Essentials Data & Bus Cable Series Data Cable 1 Pairs 2 Cores 0.35 mm² 30 m Violet Sheath Foam HDPE

Belden Alpha Essentials Data & Bus Cable Series Data Cable, 305m Length, Violet Jacket - 6463 VI001

This data cable is a single-pair, industry-grade communications conductor intended for control and data-link installations in automation and electrical systems. It combines a stranded bare-copper core with foam HDPE insulation inside a violet jacket to provide a flame-resistant signal path rated for 300V operation. The cable is designed for environments requiring a Compact profile and performance across a broad temperature range.

Features & Benefits

• 0.35 mm² conductor area delivers consistent current capacity and signal handling
  7-strand bare copper construction improves Flex and connector termination
  Flame-resistant jacket reduces fire propagation risk in confined spaces
  Foam HDPE dielectric lowers mutual capacitance for stable transmission
  -30 °C minimum temperature enables low-temperature deployment
  75 °C maximum operating temperature supports elevated ambient use

**Applications**

• Suitable for single-pair fieldbus and control wiring in automation racks
  Ideal for remote I/O and sensor links in machinery cabinets
  Used for low-voltage circuits in Electronic Assembly and test benches
  Can be used for point-to-point Ethernet-style connections where one pair suffices

What conductor construction aids flexible routing and termination?

The core is stranded with seven bare copper strands to balance flexibility with reliable screw or crimp termination contact.

How does the insulation and jacket combination affect signal behaviour?

Foam HDPE around the conductor provides a low-dielectric medium that reduces capacitance and helps preserve signal integrity over distance.

Which environmental limits govern outdoor or cold-store installation?

The cable’s allowable temperature range includes operation down to −30 °C
installations below that temperature require alternative wiring.

What protective characteristics address fire-safety considerations in plant wiring?

The outer sheath is specified as flame-resistant to limit flame spread along the cable run in enclosed installations.

How Compact is the cable for space-constrained trays or conduits?

The cable has an outside diameter of approximately 8 mm, suitable for dense bundling while maintaining separation for heat dissipation.
