Belden Inc. 81380601000 Shielded 8 Pair 28 Awg Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 81380601000 is a shielded multi-pair cable constructed with 8 pairs of 28 AWG conductors insulated with foam high-density polyethylene (FHDPE) and jacketed in PVC. This type of cable is designed for signal transmission applications where shielding is required to reduce electromagnetic interference. The FHDPE insulation helps maintain consistent electrical characteristics across the conductor pairs, making this cable suitable for data, instrumentation, or low-voltage control wiring. Electricians and low-voltage technicians are the primary trades who work with this cable type.

This cable is applicable in commercial and industrial environments where multi-pair shielded runs are needed for instrumentation, process control, or structured wiring systems. The 8-pair configuration supports multiple signal channels in a single run, reducing conduit fill and simplifying routing in panel or field installations. The PVC outer jacket provides adequate protection in standard indoor environments.

Key Features

• 8 conductor pairs in a single shielded cable assembly
• 28 AWG conductors suitable for low-current signal and control circuits
• Foam high-density polyethylene (FHDPE) insulation for stable electrical performance
• Overall shield for electromagnetic interference reduction
• PVC outer jacket for indoor installation durability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style multi-pair shielded cable for use in low-voltage signal, instrumentation, and control wiring applications where 28 AWG shielded pairs are specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for signal and control wiring. De-energize all circuits before terminating or splicing. Maintain minimum bend radius during routing to avoid degrading the cable shield continuity and conductor insulation. Avoid running parallel to high-voltage power conductors to minimize inductive interference.
