Alpha Wire XTRA-GUARD 2 Series Data Cable, 4 Pairs, 30 m, Black Sheath Polyurethane

This data cable is a multi‑pair communication cable designed for industrial and commercial signal transmission in harsh environments. It combines multiple twisted pairs with a tinned copper shield and a Durable outer jacket to provide electrical continuity and mechanical protection for networking and instrumentation applications across a wide temperature range.

• Four twisted pairs provide organised signal routing and reduced crosstalk
• 0.23mm² tinned copper conductors deliver Flexible current‑carrying capacity
• 7‑strand conductor construction improves Flex life for repeated movement
• 300V rating supports medium‑voltage signal systems in control panels
• VW‑1 flame performance reduces flame propagation in confined spaces
• Operating range −30°C to +90°C enables use in wide thermal conditions

• Suitable for factory automation communication links between controllers and I/O
• Ideal for industrial Ethernet and fieldbus segments requiring shielding
• Used with panel assemblies and patching in machine control cabinets
• Can be used for sensor cabling where repeated flexing occurs
• Used for installations requiring compliance with UL, CSA and CE standards

An aluminium/polyester/aluminium tape with a tinned copper drain conductor and a braided tinned copper screen provides comprehensive coverage and a low‑impedance return path for noise suppression.

Each pair is colour‑coded using a white base with black, brown, red or Orange mates, following the specified colour sequence to simplify pairing and termination.

The core features a non‑woven polyester wrap for assembly stability, and a ripcord beneath the jacket assists controlled sheath removal during termination.

The outer sheath is polyurethane with a nominal wall thickness and offers sunlight resistance

Maintain a minimum bend radius of 10x cable diameter and limit pull tension to the specified maximum to avoid conductor or jacket damage.
