Belden’s new halogen-free DeviceBus cables have been designed for use in a global environment
Belden has introduced new halogen-free DeviceBus cables, two of which are steel wire armoured for use in public areas and/or demanding industrial applications.
Four new halogen-free DeviceBus cables have been designed for use in a global environment, suitable for indoor and outdoor usage, as well as for direct burial applications.
Designed to meet both the electrical and physical requirements as laid down by ODVA, these cables comply with IEC 60332-3-24 (formerly IEC60332-3C), EN 50265-2-1 and NEC/CEC CM CL2 CM FT4 standards and regulations and enable flawless communication using the DeviceNet protocol and matching all existing connectivity, the company said.
Halogen-free
Belden’s halogen-free DeviceBus 300V Class 2 cables are both FRNC (flame-retardant, non-corrosive) and LSNH (low-smoke, non-halogen). When compared to products containing halogens (such as PVC), these halogen-free cables offer considerable safety advantages. In the event of a fire, including minimal release of toxic gases, reduced impairment of vision, no release of highly caustic acids – in short, significantly improved safety for man, nature and materials.
Armoured Versions
For harsh industrial environments where mechanical protection for cables is critical, Belden has developed a range of armoured halogen-free DeviceBus cables. The SWA (steel wire armoured) versions feature an inner jacket which matches the dimensions of the un-armoured types.
The physical dimensions of the new halogen-free DeviceBus cables match those of standard PVC products, thus eliminating the need for special connectivity or cable-glands. The single galvanised steel wires of the armour are applied in a tension-free process and are in accordance with EN 50288-1.
Tested for Public Safety
Belden’s four new halogen-free DeviceBus 300V Class 2 cables meet or exceed the following standards: IEC 60332-3-24, EN50265-2-1 and NEC/CEC CM CL2 CM FT4.
”They enhance Belden’s already impressive DeviceBus product portfolio and ensure a fitting cable for all environments,” the company said..
