Belden Alpha Essentials Communication & Control Series Control Cable, 30m Cable Length, 0.56mm² Cross Sectional Area - 1896/4C SL001


This control cable provides a flexible connection for communication and control systems in industrial environments. It is designed for general-purpose signal and control wiring where a compact, multi-conductor cable with a PVC outer sheath is required. The construction supports moderate mechanical handling while maintaining electrical continuity for single-pair control circuits.

Features & Benefits


• Tin-plated copper conductors reduce corrosion and maintain conductivity
• Seven-strand conductors deliver improved flexing capability
• 0.56mm² conductor cross section supports typical control currents
• PVC jacket rated FT4 for enhanced vertical flame performance
• Operating range from -20°C to 80°C for varied site conditions

**Applications**


• Suitable for factory automation control panels and wiring
• Ideal for industrial sensor and actuator interconnections
• Used with Terminal blocks and PLC input/output wiring
• Can be used for machine tool signal cabling in workshops

What conductor construction enables repeated flexing?


Each conductor comprises seven tinned copper strands, which increase flexibility compared with solid wire and help resist breakage under repeated movement.

How is the cable marked for identification during installation?


The jacket is printed with manufacturer and type information alongside temperature and safety designations to assist identification on site.

What electrical characteristic is relevant for design calculations?


The nominal conductor DC resistance is approximately 10.2 Ω per 1000 ft at 20°C, useful for voltage-drop assessments in long runs.

What mechanical limits should installers observe when routing?


Maintain a bend radius of at least 10x the cable diameter and avoid exceeding a pull tension of 35 lb during installation.

Which regulatory restrictions apply to material composition?


The cable conforms to RoHS and REACH requirements and follows regional low-voltage and flame-performance specifications as part of its declared compliance.
