Alpha Wire Alpha Essentials Communication & Control Control Cable, 50 Cores, 0.23mm² 24 AWG, Screened, 30 m, Slate

Belden Alpha Essentials Communication & Control Series Control Cable, 50 cores, 30m Cable Length - 1219/50C SL005

This control cable is a screened, multiconductor cable designed for communication and control wiring in industrial environments. It combines 50 cores with stranded tin‑plated copper conductors and a slate PVC outer sheath to suit control, instrumentation and low‑voltage signal tasks while operating across typical industrial temperature ranges.

Features & Benefits

• Screened construction for improved EMI protection
  Stranded 7‑strand conductors for Flex and conductivity
  Rated for 300V enabling standard control circuits
  Operating range -20 to 80°C for typical industrial use
  Slate PVC jacket for chemical and mechanical resistance
  10.85mm nominal diameter for Compact multi‑core routing

**Applications**

• Suitable for distributed control systems in automation panels
  Ideal for instrumentation trunks and signal routing in plant
  Used for remote circuit controls and telephony lines
  Can be used for security and access control systems
  Suitable for wiring in machine control cabinets

What is the conductor construction and why does it matter?

Each core uses stranded tin‑copper wire with seven strands to balance flexibility and cross‑sectional continuity for reliable signal and control current transmission.

How does the screening assist in industrial installations?

The overall screen reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference, maintaining signal integrity across multiple cores when routed near power cabling or switching equipment.

What jacket and insulation materials are used?

The insulation is PVC with a slate PVC outer jacket chosen for mechanical durability and compatibility with typical cable management and termination methods.

How is temperature performance expressed for installation planning?

The cable’s permissible operating temperatures span from -20 to 80°C, useful when specifying routing through ambient and slightly elevated local environments.

What form of supply length is referenced for procurement?

The product detail indicates a 30m length option for standard supply quantities suitable for many panel and machine runs.
