Belden Inc. 2130Z0104000 Multi-pair Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 2130Z0104000 is a multi-pair shielded cable designed for signal and control wiring in demanding industrial and commercial installations. Based on its part number structure and supplier classification as a cable product, it is constructed with cross-linked polyolefin (XLPO) insulation, offering improved thermal performance and resistance compared to standard PVC insulation. The cable features an overall foil shield with drain wire for noise rejection in low-voltage signal circuits. This type of cable is commonly specified by electricians and controls technicians in environments where flame resistance and low-smoke characteristics are required.

This cable is suited for use in commercial building automation, industrial process control, and HVAC control wiring applications. XLPO-insulated, foil-shielded multi-pair cable of this type is typically routed in conduit or cable trays where fire-retardant and low-smoke, no-halogen (TSNH) properties are required by code. The 16-pair, 16 AWG construction supports multiple simultaneous signal runs in a single cable jacket, reducing conduit fill and simplifying termination in panel or junction box environments.

Key Features

• Cross-linked polyolefin (XLPO) insulation for elevated temperature resistance and durability
• Foil shield (FS) on each pair plus an overall foil shield for enhanced EMI and RFI noise rejection
• Low-smoke, no-halogen (TSNH) jacket compound reduces toxic gas emission in confined spaces
• Multi-pair construction supports high signal-circuit density in a single cable run
• Flame-retardant design suitable for installations governed by fire and safety codes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-specified multi-pair shielded control cable for use in low-voltage signal, instrumentation, and building automation wiring systems where XLPO insulation and low-smoke no-halogen jacket ratings are required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified controls technician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits before making terminations. Maintain minimum bend radius to avoid kinking the foil shield layers, which can degrade shielding effectiveness. Drain wires should be grounded at one end only to prevent ground loops in signal circuits.
