BELDEN 8722, 20 AWG 2-PAIR SHIELDED/UNSHIELDED INSTRUMENTATION CABLE

BELDEN 8722 is a specialized, multi-pair cable designed for complex control systems that require a mix of shielded and unshielded signal paths. By combining one shielded pair for sensitive data alongside one unshielded pair for general control, it offers a space-saving, efficient solution for routing varied signal types within a single jacket.

Product Description

This cable is engineered for versatility in industrial and electronic environments where isolating interference for specific signals is necessary while minimizing cable bulk:

Hybrid Pair Configuration: It houses two pairs of 20 AWG stranded tinned copper conductors. The first pair is wrapped in a Beldfoil® (aluminum/polyester) shield to block EMI/RFI, while the second pair remains unshielded, providing an ideal layout for systems requiring both low-noise analog paths and standard digital or status control lines.

Effective Grounding: To streamline the installation of the shielded pair, a 22 AWG stranded tinned copper drain wire is included. This ensures a straightforward, low-resistance path to ground for effective common-mode noise rejection.

Durable and Versatile: The internal conductors are insulated with PVC, and the overall construction is protected by a sturdy chrome PVC outer jacket. This design meets the 350V operating voltage rating and is classified as CMG-rated, ensuring it adheres to standard building safety codes for general-purpose electronic and communication installations.

Practical Utility: Because it consolidates two different signaling requirements into one cable, the 8722 significantly reduces the amount of wiring needed in equipment racks, control cabinets, and automation panels, keeping your installation tidy and organized.
