Belden Inc. 1335A 0031000 Shielded Pair Cable 16 Awg

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 1335A 0031000 is a shielded twisted pair cable designed for low-voltage signal and control wiring applications. It consists of one twisted pair at 16 AWG, jacketed in flame-retardant PVC (FR-PVC), and includes a foil shield to reduce electromagnetic interference. This construction makes it well suited for instrumentation, HVAC controls, and building automation wiring where signal integrity and fire-code compliance are required. Licensed electricians and control systems technicians are the primary installers of this cable type in both new construction and retrofit projects.

This cable is commonly used in commercial and light industrial environments for connecting sensors, thermostats, controllers, and other low-voltage control devices. The FR-PVC jacket supports installation in areas where flame spread and smoke generation must meet standard building code requirements. Its 16 AWG conductor size provides adequate current capacity for typical control circuit loads and allows for reasonable run lengths without significant voltage drop.

Key Features

• 1 twisted pair construction for balanced signal transmission
• 16 AWG conductors suitable for control and instrumentation circuits
• Foil shield reduces electromagnetic and radio frequency interference
• Flame-retardant PVC jacket supports fire-code-compliant installations
• Sold as a single unit (EA)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use shielded control cable for low-voltage signal and control wiring applications in HVAC, building automation, and instrumentation systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits before making terminations. The drain wire of the foil shield should be grounded at one end only to prevent ground loops in signal circuits. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling tension during installation to maintain cable integrity.
