Alpha Wire XTRA-GUARD 2 Control Cable, 4 Cores, 0.23mm² 24 AWG, Screened, 30 m, Black Polyvinyl Chloride Sheath

Belden XTRA-GUARD 2 Series Control Cable, 30m Cable Length, 4 Cores - 25094 BK005

This control cable is a screened, four-core cable designed for transmitting control and instrumentation signals in industrial settings. It offers a flame-retardant construction and a black PVC outer sheath for environmental protection, enabling use across a broad temperature span in automated and electrical systems.

Features & Benefits

• 7-strand tinned copper conductors ensure flexible conductivity and corrosion resistance
  Screened assembly with foil and drain wire reduces electromagnetic interference
  Rated for 300V to support typical control voltage systems
  Flame-retardant materials limit fire propagation in installations
  Operates between -30°C and 90°C for low-temperature resilience
  Multi-layer core wrap and tape maintain consistent cable geometry

**Applications**

• Suitable for instrumentation wiring in factory automation systems
  Ideal for signal runs between PLCs and peripheral devices
  Used for control circuits in electrical panels and motor drives
  Can be used for cable assemblies requiring screened cores
  Suitable for retrofit installations in harsh indoor environments

What is the cable’s conductor construction and strand count?

Each conductor comprises 7 strands of tinned copper, offering a balance of flexibility and conductivity.

How is electromagnetic shielding implemented?

The screen uses aluminium/Mylar foil with a tinned-copper drain conductor and defined foil orientation to provide consistent shielding performance.

What mechanical safeguards protect the cores within the assembly?

Cores are cabled with a non-woven polyester tape wrap and arranged from inner to outer layers to preserve layout and reduce internal movement.

How is the outer sheath specified for durability?

The jacket is a black PVC formulation selected for sunlight resistance and mechanical protection while allowing ripcord-assisted sheath removal.

Which markings and regulatory notes appear on the cable?

The outer print includes manufacturer identification, style and temperature/voltage classifications, and RoHS compliance indicators as part of product traceability.
