BELDEN 1032A, 18 AWG 1-PAIR SHIELDED INSTRUMENTATION CABLE

BELDEN 1032A, 18 AWG 1-PAIR SHIELDED INSTRUMENTATION CABLE

BELDEN 1032A is a high-performance, single-pair instrumentation cable designed for critical analog and digital control signals in industrial environments. Featuring 18 AWG conductors and a highly effective foil shield, it is engineered for applications where signal integrity, noise rejection, and long-term durability are essential for process automation and control systems.

Product Description

This cable is built to ensure consistent communication between sensors, controllers, and instrumentation in noisy electrical environments:

Conductor Construction: It features one pair of 18 AWG stranded (7x26) tinned copper conductors. The 18 AWG size offers excellent conductivity for low-voltage signal transmission, helping to minimize signal loss and voltage drop over longer cable runs, while the stranded design provides the necessary flexibility for installation in racks or through industrial conduits.

Superior Shielding: The pair is protected by a Beldfoil® shield (aluminum/polyester tape, 100% coverage), which provides complete immunity against electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI). A 20 AWG stranded tinned copper drain wire is included to ensure a low-impedance, reliable ground connection.

Durable Insulation & Jacket: The conductors are insulated with polypropylene, which offers excellent dielectric properties and low signal capacitance. The entire assembly is encased in a durable, chrome-colored PVC outer jacket, specifically formulated to withstand the physical demands of industrial and commercial installations.

Application Versatility: This cable is CM-rated, making it a reliable choice for general-purpose instrumentation, control circuits, and audio/data distribution where a single shielded pair is required to maintain a clean, hum-free signal.
