Belden XTRA-GUARD 2 Series Control Cable, 30m Cable Length, 4 Cores - 25064 BK005

This control cable provides multi-core signal and control connectivity for industrial and automation systems. Engineered for environments requiring compact, flexible cabling, it combines tinned copper conductors with a robust outer sheath to deliver safe operation up to moderate temperatures and voltages.

Features & Benefits

• Four tinned copper conductors for corrosion resistance and continuity
• 300V rating enabling use in typical control circuits
• Flame-retardant outer jacket reducing fire propagation risk
• Temperature endurance from -30 to 90°C for varied environments
• Unscreened design offering flexibility and reduced weight
• 6.58mm outside diameter for space-efficient installations

Applications

• Suitable for wiring control panels in manufacturing equipment
• Ideal for interconnecting sensors and actuators on production lines
• Used with motor starters and relay cabinets in automation systems
• Can be used for signal runs in building management systems

What conductor construction is used to maintain signal integrity?

Each core comprises multiple tinned copper strands arranged as 16-strand conductors to balance flexibility with low resistance.

How is the cable assembled to ensure stable core positioning?

The four insulated cores are cabled with a minimum twist rate and wrapped with non‑woven polyester tape to maintain component orientation and reduce movement.

What mechanical handling limits should installers observe during routing?

Minimum bend radius is ten times the cable diameter and maximum pull tension is 50 lb to avoid conductor or jacket damage.

Which sheath material and colours are available for identification?

The jacket is a polyvinyl chloride formulation supplied in black and other colour options for easy coding on site.

How are capacitance and inductance specified for system design?

Typical conductor-to-conductor capacitance is 30 pF/ft and nominal inductance is 0.18 μH/ft for electrical design calculations.
