Product Notes
| Notes | Electrical values are expected performance based on cable testing and representative performance within a typical Belden system. Operating temperatures subject to length de-rating. Print Includes Descending Footage/Meter Markings from Max. Put-Up Length to 0. Suitable for burial or use in outdoor wet locations. Not recommended for Direct Burial applications without additional crush and impact protection. Additional crush and impact protection would include cable armoring, installation in conduit or installation with over top barriers per Belden Technical Bulletin T/8-6. Cable jacket system is specially designed to protect cable core. Cable contains no water-blocking tapes, gels, or powders. Install in accordance with all applicable electrical codes. Maintain jacket integrity throughout installation process. Do not allow water or fluids to penetrate jacket sheath or to enter ends of cable. Ensure ends of cable will be protected from water/fluids after installation. |
