Belden XTRA-GUARD 2 Series Control Cable, 30m Cable Length, 4 Cores - 25464 BK005


This control cable is designed for signal and control circuits in industrial automation and electrical installations where screened conductors and reduced emission of combustion products are required. It combines multi-core screening and tinned copper conductors to provide stable connectivity and suitability for installations with elevated ambient temperatures.

Features & Benefits


• Screened construction reduces electromagnetic interference for cleaner signals
• Tin-plated copper conductors resist corrosion for extended service life
• Fire-resistant insulation meets IEC 60332-1 for safer fault conditions
• Low smoke zero halogen sheath limits toxic emissions during combustion
• Rated for 300V enabling compatibility with common control systems
• Maximum operating temperature of 90 °C supports high-temperature environments

**Applications**


• Suitable for factory automation control cabinets and racks
• Used for motor starter and relay circuits in machinery
• Ideal for wiring between PLCs and field instrumentation
• Can be used for cable runs in transportation and building services
• Used with screened inputs where low emission of smoke is necessary

What conductor construction is used and why does it matter?


Each core consists of multi-stranded tin-plated copper conductors which improve flexibility for routing and offer enhanced resistance to corrosion compared with bare copper.

How is screening implemented and how does it affect installation?


The assembly uses an aluminium/Mylar tape with a tinned copper drain conductor to provide a continuous return path for interference and to simplify termination to earth.

What sheath material is fitted and what are its mechanical traits?


The outer sheath is a PVC compound selected for abrasion and sunlight resistance while maintaining a flexible profile suitable for cable management.

What environmental temperature range can be expected in service?


The cable is specified for continuous operation between -30 °C and 90 °C to accommodate cold storage areas and warm plant-floor locations.

What electrical characteristics aid engineering selection?


Nominal capacitance and inductance values are provided for system calculations and the voltage rating is 300V for typical control networks.
