Belden 73603WS008100 Shielded Cable 16 Awg 3C

Product Description

The Belden 73603WS008100 is a shielded multi-conductor cable built for reliable signal and power transmission in demanding commercial and industrial environments. Constructed at 16 AWG with a 26/30 stranding configuration across three conductors, this cable is engineered for flexibility and consistent electrical performance. The foil or braid shield reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI), making it suitable for low-voltage control, instrumentation, and data runs where signal integrity is critical. Electricians and low-voltage technicians are the primary installers for this type of cable.

This cable is appropriate for a range of commercial and industrial applications including HVAC control wiring, building automation, intercom systems, and instrumentation signal runs. Its shielded construction makes it well suited for installations where adjacent electrical equipment could induce noise on unshielded conductors. The 16 AWG conductor size supports both control-level and moderate-current applications. It is sold as a single unit (EA) and is typically installed in conduit or cable tray per applicable electrical codes.

Key Features

• 16 AWG conductor size with 26/30 stranding for enhanced flexibility
• 3-conductor configuration for multi-circuit or control-signal wiring
• Shielded construction reduces EMI and RFI interference
• Suitable for low-voltage control, instrumentation, and automation wiring
• Sold as individual unit (EA), quantity one per unit

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose shielded multi-conductor cable suitable for commercial and industrial control, instrumentation, and low-voltage signal wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage technician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and any applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits before making terminations. The shield drain wire should be grounded at one end only to prevent ground loops in signal circuits. Avoid sharp bends or excessive pulling tension during routing to preserve the shield integrity and conductor insulation.
