BELDEN 3076F, FIELDBUS CABLE
Belden 3076F is a high-performance 1-pair, 18 AWG industrial fieldbus cable designed for demanding process automation environments. Engineered for reliability in harsh conditions, it is a primary choice for Foundation Fieldbus and PROFIBUS PA applications, providing robust signal integrity for connecting field devices to PLCs in sectors such as oil, gas, and pharmaceuticals.
Product Description
3076F is built to handle the rigors of industrial infrastructure, offering excellent resistance to environmental stressors. Its shielded construction and heavy-duty jacket make it suitable for indoor and outdoor installations, including cable trays, conduits, or direct-path configurations where protection from moisture, oil, and sunlight is essential.
Key Technical Specifications
Conductor Construction: 1 pair of 18 AWG stranded (7x26) tinned copper conductors, providing an optimal balance of flexibility and signal transmission distance.
Insulation: High-grade Polypropylene (PP) or Polyolefin (PO) insulation, ensuring low capacitance and stable electrical performance.
Shielding Architecture: * Beldfoil® Shield: 100% coverage aluminum/polyester foil tape provides superior protection against high-frequency electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Drain Wire: Includes a tinned copper drain wire for simplified and reliable ground termination.
Outer Jacket: Durable, flame-retardant PVC jacket (typically orange for fieldbus or blue for intrinsically safe applications), which is oil, sunlight, and moisture-resistant.
Standards & Ratings:
Voltage Rating: 300V RMS.
Compliance: NEC Type PLTC-ER/ITC-ER/CM/CMX-Outdoor; UL 1666 Riser rated.
Temperature Rating: Up to 105°C.
Primary Applications
Foundation Fieldbus & PROFIBUS PA: Specifically designed for digital process communication between controllers and field instrumentation.
Harsh Industrial Environments: Ideal for petrochemical refineries, oil and gas extraction sites, and manufacturing plants.
Infrastructure Connectivity: Suitable for permanent, fixed installations in cable trays or conduits where high-speed, reliable data transmission is required in electrically noisy zones.
