Armoring Capabilities
Belden also has the capability to protect
electronic, instrumentation and control cables
with interlocking or continuous armor and
smooth or corrugated protective metal tapes.

Application
Cable jackets are resistant to sunlight,
moisture and vapor penetration. PVC/PVC
constructions, with 3 conductors or more
and 20 AWG or larger, are suitable for
direct burial.
Unshielded
Twisted non-shielded pairs and triads
provide a minimal OD allowing greater tray
and conduit fill. Non-shielded instrument
pairs may be utilized when recommended
by the instrument manufacturer and used
in a metallic conduit.
Overall Shield
Recommended for use in instrumentation
applications where signals are transmitted
in excess of 100 millivolts except in areas
where high voltage and current sources
create excessive noise interference.
The Beldfoil^® shield with drain wire
provides 100% coverage for maximum
shield effectiveness.
Individually Shielded and
Overall Shielded
Individually shielded pairs or triads with
an overall shield are recommended for
use in instrumentation applications where
optimum noise rejection is required.
Individual pair/triad shields are fully isolated
from each other and contain a separate
drain wire for grounding, to provide
maximum protection from crosstalk and
common mode interference. Cables with
an overall shield provide additional
electrostatic noise protection.
Specifications
● UL Subject 13
● UL Subject 2250
● NEC Article 725 Class 2 and
Class 3 Circuits
● NEC Type PLTC Listed, which is
approved for cable tray use in Class 1,
Division 2, hazardous areas and
non-hazardous areas, cable trays,
raceways, conduit and supported
by messenger wires.
● Sunlight-resistant.
● Oil-resistant per UL Class 43
● NEC Type ITC per Article 727.
ITC cables may carry up to 5 amps
at 150V, which is significantly greater
than that allowed for PLTC only cables.
ITC cables may also be installed in
specific applications, per the NEC,
in addition to those allowed for PLTC.
● UL 1685 (UL 1581) Vertical Tray Flame
Test comparable to IEEE 383-1974
(70,000 BTU/hr.) Flame Test.
● PVC/PVC constructions are CMG, FT4,
IEEE 1202 and IEEE 383-2003 rated,
and meet ICEA T-29-520 Flame Test.
● Design options — call 1-800-BELDEN-1
or 1-800-BELDEN-3.
PLTC-ER
As an option, Belden offers all PVC insulated,
PVC jacketed instrumentation cables, and
several other insulation and jackets, with a
PLTC-ER (Exposed Run) rating, formerly
referred to as Open Wiring.
Per NEC Article 725, a PLTC-ER rated cable
may be installed in an industrial establish-
ment between a cable tray and the utilization
equipment or device. A PLTC-ER rated cable
must meet the crush and impact require-
ments of UL Type MC cable By eliminating
the need for metal conduit and/or armor,
using a PLTC-ER rated cable results in
savings in both installation and maintenance.
Standard lengths may be subject to tolerance. Custom lengths may be available upon
request. Contact the Belden Electronics Division Customer Service Department for
additional information. 1-800-BELDEN-1 or 1-800-BELDEN-3.
