BELDEN 3076E, 2-CONDUCTOR 22 AWG SHIELDED PROFIBUS CABLE (LSZH)

BELDEN 3076E is an industrial-grade fieldbus cable designed for PROFIBUS PA (Process Automation) applications. Featuring a 2-conductor (1-pair) construction with advanced LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket technology, it is optimized for hazardous or sensitive industrial environments where safety, fire resistance, and reliable signal transmission are paramount.

Product Description

This cable is engineered to meet the distinct electrical requirements of PROFIBUS PA, which differs from the standard DP protocol, while offering superior environmental protection:

Optimized for Process Automation (PA): Unlike the DP protocol, PROFIBUS PA is designed for process control and hazardous area applications. This cable features a 22 AWG shielded pair configuration, balancing electrical conductivity with the low capacitance needed for accurate analog process data transmission.

Safety-First Jacket (LSZH): Encased in a violet LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket, the 3076E is ideal for enclosed industrial facilities, transit systems, or public buildings. In the event of fire, it emits minimal smoke and no toxic halogen gases, protecting both personnel and sensitive automation hardware from corrosive damage.

Superior EMI/RFI Shielding: To ensure that process data—such as pressure, temperature, and flow sensor readings—remains accurate, the cable utilizes an overall foil-and-braid shield. This dual-layer construction provides comprehensive immunity against electromagnetic interference generated by industrial motors, variable frequency drives, and heavy machinery.

Robust Electrical Performance: The conductors are insulated with high-grade polyolefin and twisted to precise specifications to maintain signal integrity over long cable runs. The construction is designed to withstand the physical and environmental stresses of permanent industrial installations.
