Multiple Conductor Cables

Multiple conductor cables are a type of cable used in electrical engineering, which consists of more than one isolated conductors. Multiple conductor cables are used for a variety of applications due to their ability to carry different signals and power in one bundle. The 78253 SL005 is a multi-conductor cable by Belden that is used for industrial Signal and Energy applications. This article will explore the application fields and the general working principle of the 78253 SL005 cable.

Application Field of the 78253 SL005

The 78253 SL005 cable is recommended for use in areas such as machine tools, packaging equipment, large machinery, construction sites, and other applications requiring robust shielded multi-conductor cables. It features a high crush strength, robust armor and overall abrasion resistance, giving it the durability needed for industrial applications. Because the 78253 SL005 is a low smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) cable, it is ideal for confined spaces and areas with low ventilation. Its jacketing material is also flame-retardant, making it safe for use in high-temperature and hazardous locations. Furthermore, the 78253 SL005 is designed for a temperature range of -20°C to +90°C.

The 78253 SL005 is UL recognized, meets UL MTW/TW standards for use in general-purpose wiring in machine tools, and is RoHS compliant. It is also RoHS compliant and meets the requirements of RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. Additionally, the 78253 SL005 is flexible, which makes it easy to install in tight spaces. The cable also features a TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) TPE jacketing and insulation, making it highly resistant to corrosive liquids, moisture, and oils.

Working Principle of the 78253 SL005

The 78253 SL005 is designed for a variety of medium voltage and low voltage applications. It features a single-conductor, dual-conductor, and multi-conductor configuration. The single-conductor configuration is typically used for low voltage applications that do not require shielding or increased durability due to the simplicity of the configuration. The dual and multi-conductor configuration is for applications that require shielding, added durability, or both.

The multi-conductor configuration of 78253 SL005 features two to seven conductors, with each conductor having its own earth screen. This helps protect the conductors from external interference, and can also reduce the size of the cable in tight spaces. Additionally, the 78253 SL005 features a Tinned Copper Braiding shield, which ensures complete shielding from external electromagnetic interference. This also helps reduce interference from crosstalk, which can degrade the performance of sensitive electrical systems.

The 78253 SL005 also features a durable outer jacket made from a blend of polyethylene and rubber, which provides flexibility and superior crush strength. This helps extend the life of the cable, making it ideal for use in areas where there is potential for heavy wear-and-tear or potential cable damage.

Conclusion

The 78253 SL005 multi-conductor cable is a robust and highly durable multi-conductor cable for industrial signal and energy applications. Its low smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) and flame-retardant jacketing make it safe and ideal for use in confined spaces and hazardous locations. Additionally, its single, dual, and multi-conductor configurations give it the versatility needed for a variety of low and medium voltage installations. The reliable shielding and superior construction of the 78253 SL005 make it a highly effective and robust solution for multiple conductive applications.
