Belden Alpha Essentials Communication & Control Series Data Cable, 305m Cable Length, 300V Voltage - 6073C SL001


This data cable provides three screened pairs for communication and control tasks in industrial environments. It combines tin‑plated copper conductors with a polypropylene outer jacket, delivering a balance of signal integrity and mechanical protection for medium‑distance wiring runs on reels up to 305 m. The cable is suitable for installation where regulated voltage ratings and recognised approvals are required.

Features & Benefits


• 7‑strand copper core offers flexible handling during installation
• 0.23 mm² conductor area supports consistent signal transmission
• Tin copper plating improves corrosion resistance for longevity
• 300V rating permits use in many control circuits
• FT4 fire behaviour reduces flame propagation in vertical shafts
• Slate polypropylene jacket resists environmental wear

**Applications**


• Suitable for instrumentation and sensor cabling in factories
• Ideal for control panel internal wiring and signal routing
• Used with PLCs for short‑run communications in automation
• Can be used for building services where vertical fire performance is needed
• Suitable for OEM harnesses requiring flexible multi‑pair cable

What is the twisting arrangement within the cable?


Each pair is constructed with two conductors cabled together and twisted at a minimum of 6.0 twists/ft, with the three components cabled together at a minimum of 3.0 twists/ft.

How is the cable shielded and terminated for earthing?


Pairs are wrapped with an aluminium/Mylar tape with 25% overlap and include a 24 AWG drain wire for shield termination.

What are the electrical characteristics relevant to signal performance?


Characteristic impedance is approximately 115 Ω ±5, mutual capacitance is around 12 pF/ft at 1 kHz, and velocity of propagation is 76%.

What mechanical limits should installers observe?


Recommended minimum bend radius is 10x cable diameter and maximum pull tension is 32 lbs.

Which standards and environmental directives apply to this cable?


It meets UL AWM/Style 2493, CSA CMG FT4, CE low‑voltage directives, and complies with RoHS and REACH substance limits.
