BELDEN 3082A, 2 PAIR 15+18AWG THICK TYPE DEVICENET CABLE

Belden 3082A is a heavy-duty DeviceNet™ (Thick) industrial bus cable, featuring a 2-pair construction with 15 AWG power and 18 AWG data conductors. It is engineered to provide both power and high-speed data transmission for complex automation networks in harsh, high-noise industrial environments.

Product Description

3082A is the industry standard for "Thick" DeviceNet trunks, designed to minimize voltage drop over long distances while ensuring robust signal integrity for Control and Information Protocol (CIP) communication. Its ruggedized, oil-resistant construction protects the internal pairs from mechanical stress and electromagnetic interference (EMI), making it ideal for large-scale factory floor automation and robotic systems.
