BELDEN 9538, 24 AWG 8-CORE SHIELDED COMPUTER & INSTRUMENTATION CABLE

BELDEN 9538, 24 AWG 8-CORE SHIELDED COMPUTER & INSTRUMENTATION CABLE

BELDEN 9538 is a high-density, multi-conductor cable designed for sensitive electronic instrumentation and computer interconnects. Featuring eight 24 AWG conductors within a single shielded bundle, it is an industry-standard solution for managing multiple signal paths in space-constrained environments such as control panels, data acquisition systems, and laboratory instrumentation.

Product Description

This cable is engineered to provide excellent signal integrity by isolating delicate low-voltage communications from electromagnetic noise:

Multi-Conductor Density: It contains eight 24 AWG stranded (7x32) tinned copper conductors. This configuration allows for the management of complex wiring schemes, such as RS-232 serial links or multi-channel sensor inputs, while keeping the overall cable diameter low for easier routing in tight cable trays.

Effective EMI/RFI Shielding: The internal bundle is fully protected by a Beldfoil® (aluminum/polyester tape, 100% coverage) shield. This provides comprehensive immunity against the electromagnetic and radio frequency interference typically found in industrial or office environments. A 24 AWG stranded tinned copper drain wire is included to facilitate a secure, continuous ground connection.

Low-Capacitance Design: The conductors are insulated with polypropylene, which offers excellent dielectric properties and low signal capacitance. This is critical for minimizing signal attenuation and crosstalk, ensuring that high-speed data or precise analog signals remain clean over long cable runs.

Durable and Versatile: The cable is encased in a chrome-colored PVC outer jacket, providing a robust physical barrier against abrasion and environmental stressors. It is CM-rated, making it a compliant and reliable choice for general-purpose electronic, control, and computer cabling within building installations.
