BELDEN 9536 6 CORE 24 AWG RS-232 CONTROL CABLE

BELDEN 9536 6 CORE 24 AWG RS-232 CONTROL CABLE

Belden 9536 is a multi-conductor control cable designed primarily for RS-232 serial communication, low-voltage control, and instrumentation applications. Featuring six 24 AWG stranded conductors, it provides a flexible and reliable solution for connecting serial devices, panel-to-panel controls, and general data signaling where high-speed digital protocols are not required.

Product Description

9536 is a general-purpose control cable. It uses a standard color-coded conductor layout, making it an excellent choice for point-to-point connections where noise immunity is less critical than simple signal routing.

Key Technical Specifications
Conductor Construction: 6 conductors of 24 AWG (7x32) stranded tinned copper. The stranded construction offers good flexibility for routing in tight control enclosures or conduit.

Insulation: Premium-grade Polypropylene (PP) insulation provides excellent electrical and mechanical characteristics, including low dielectric loss.

Shielding: This model typically features an Overall Beldfoil® shield (100% coverage), which provides basic protection against ambient electrical noise.

Outer Jacket: A durable Chrome PVC jacket that is rated for general-purpose applications (CM/CL2), balancing flexibility with environmental protection.

Cable Geometry: Unlike RS-485 cables which have specific "pair" twists for impedance matching, the 9536 is cabled with a "lay" design, which is optimized for flexibility and low-voltage signaling rather than constant characteristic impedance.

Primary Applications
RS-232 Serial Communication: Frequently used for short-to-medium distance serial connections between computers, modems, and peripheral hardware.

Low-Voltage Control: Ideal for audio/visual control systems, relay logic, and basic signaling in building automation.

Instrumentation: Suitable for connecting sensors or transducers where data rates are low and a single shielded reference is sufficient.

Key Distinction: RS-232 vs. RS-485
It is important to note that because the 9536 is an RS-232 cable, it does not possess the 120-Ohm characteristic impedance or the twisted-pair noise rejection of the 9841-series cables. Using this cable for long-distance RS-485 or DMX applications may lead to significant data corruption or signal loss.
