YZ65746 1 PAIR RS485 MODBUS ARMORED

Belden YZ65746 is a heavy-duty, armored one-pair shielded twisted pair cable designed for critical RS-485 and Modbus serial communications. By integrating high-performance data conductors with a protective mechanical armor layer, this cable provides maximum protection against physical impact, crushing, and environmental damage in harsh industrial sites.

Product Description

YZ65746 is built for extreme reliability in industrial settings where cables are exposed to potential mechanical abuse, such as in refineries, heavy manufacturing plants, or outdoor infrastructure. It combines the electrical shielding required for noise-free data transmission with an armored barrier that eliminates the need for expensive rigid conduit in many applications.

Key Technical Specifications
Conductor Construction: 1 pair of 24 AWG (or 0.5mm² equivalent) stranded tinned copper conductors, chosen for their balance of flexibility and stable electrical characteristics.

Dielectric/Insulation: PE insulation maintains low capacitance and a consistent 120-Ohm characteristic impedance, ensuring signal integrity across long distances.

Shielding & Armor Architecture:

Beldfoil® Shield: 100% coverage aluminum/polyester foil provides essential protection against high-frequency electromagnetic interference.

Tinned Copper Braid: Offers a second layer of defense against low-frequency EMI and ensures reliable ground continuity.

Armor Layer: Features a durable armor layer (such as Galvanized Steel Wire Braid or Steel Tape Armor), providing superior crush resistance and tensile strength.

Outer Jacket: A rugged, flame-retardant outer jacket designed to resist chemical, oil, and moisture ingress, protecting the armored core from environmental degradation.

Primary Applications
Heavy Industrial Automation: Ideal for connecting critical control components in environments where cables may be stepped on, crushed, or exposed to debris.

Outdoor/Exposed Installations: The armor provides the durability needed for runs that are not fully protected by conduit, including overhead cable trays or direct-buried paths (if jacket material permits).

High-Reliability Modbus/RS-485 Loops: Ensures consistent, error-free communication in electrically noisy zones where physical damage to standard cables would lead to costly system downtime.
