BELDEN 9463 "BLUE HOSE®" CABLE
Belden 9463, widely recognized by its nickname "Blue Hose®," is a 20 AWG, 1-pair twinaxial cable engineered specifically for Allen-Bradley Data Highway Plus (DH+) networks. It is the gold standard for reliable, high-speed communication between programmable logic controllers (PLCs), remote I/O racks, and operator interfaces in industrial settings.
Product Description
This cable is purpose-built to survive the harsh electrical noise of manufacturing floors. Its design features stranded tinned copper conductors, specialized polyethylene insulation, and a robust dual-layer shielding system (foil and braid) that effectively blocks electromagnetic interference (EMI). Its signature bright blue jacket serves as a critical safety feature, allowing technicians to instantly distinguish it from high-voltage power lines to prevent accidental cross-wiring.
Conductor: 20 AWG stranded tinned copper (1-pair).
Impedance: 78 Ohms nominal.
Shielding: 100% foil coverage + 60% tinned copper braid.
Jacket: Blue PVC (also available in plenum or Low Smoke Zero Halogen versions for specialized safety needs).
Primary Use: DH+ PLC networking, peer-to-peer data messaging, and remote programming.
