New Signal and Control Cable Provides Price Sensitive Solution



Not every wiring application requires extreme protection against oil, flex cycles or abrasion. In these cases, it makes both engineering and economic sense to specify cables with more modest performance characteristics.
To meet the market demand for less demanding signal and control applications, we have introduced the C 304 and D 304 Series. These data, communication and control cables are intended for enclosed wiring applications with minimal or no exposure to oil and flex cycles. For example, RS–232 wiring within control cabinets or other electrical enclosures represents an ideal application for the 304 Series.
Technical features of these new 300V paired cables include:
           UL& CSA CMG and AWM approvals. UL CMG allows you to route the cable from the machine through the infrastructure directly to the control panel.
           Excellent flame resistance (FT4)
           Shielded for EMI-sensitive signal, audio, instrumentation control and broadcast applications.
   
In the right application, the 304 Series will cost about 30% less than a premium signal and control cable—such as our Unitronic 300. Keep in mind, however, that the cost savings applies only to the price of the cable itself. Higher performing wire products, such as Unitronic 300, will provide a lower installed cost whenever the application calls for oil resistance, high flex cycles or exposed run installation.
