Alpha Wire Alpha Essentials Communication & Control Control Cable, 25 Cores, 0.23mm² 24 AWG, Screened, 30 m, Slate

Belden Alpha Essentials Communication & Control Series Control Cable, 30m Cable Length, 25 Cores - 1219/25C SL005

This control cable is a 25-core, screened multiconductor cable designed for communication and control tasks in industrial environments. It combines tinned copper conductors with PVC insulation and a slate-coloured PVC jacket to provide electrical continuity and mechanical protection for signal and low-voltage control circuits operating within typical industrial temperature ranges.

Features & Benefits

• 300V rating supporting common control circuits and panels
  Screened construction reduces EMI for cleaner signals
  Stranded 7-strand tin copper conductors for Flex and conductivity
  Slate PVC outer for chemical and abrasion resistance
  Operating range -20°C to 80°C for typical plant conditions
  Standards: CE UL CSA for recognised acceptance

**Applications**

• Suitable for remote circuit controls in automation cabinets
  Ideal for intercom and sound systems in production areas
  Used for signalling between sensors and PLC inputs
  Can be used for telephone and low-voltage control wiring
  Suitable for instrumentation and security system cabling

What conductor construction does it use for flexibility and conductivity?

Conductors are tinned copper with seven strands per core to balance flexibility with effective current carrying and solderability.

How does the screening affect installation near motors and drives?

The screened assembly provides a continuous earth return path that reduces radiated interference when routed alongside switched-mode or motor cabling.

What jacket material is specified and what does it mean for handling?

The outer jacket is polyvinyl chloride in a slate colour, offering standard mechanical protection and ease of stripping for termination.

Are there recognised approvals for use in commercial and industrial projects?

The cable carries CE, UL and CSA approvals, indicating conformity with those regulatory safety and construction criteria.

What core count and overall size are relevant for routing and terminations?

It contains 25 cores arranged within an overall construction engineered for multiconductor termination
the outside diameter is specified as 8.43mm for conduit and gland planning.
