Belden Alpha Essentials Communication & Control Series Control Cable, 30m Cable Length, 12 Cores - 1898/12C SL005
This control cable is a 12-core, unscreened Multicore cable designed for communication and control wiring in industrial environments. It employs stranded tinned copper conductors with PVC insulation and a slate PVC outer jacket, and it is intended for low-voltage control, signal and remote circuit applications where a flexible, industry-standard cable is required.
Features & Benefits
• 12 tin copper cores deliver corrosion-resistant conductivity
• Rated to 300V for low-voltage control circuits
• Operating range −20°C to +80°C supports hot environments
• Slate PVC jacket resists mechanical wear and abrasion
• FT1 FT4 VW-1 fire behaviour reduces flame propagation risk
• UL CE CSA approvals simplify international use
• Rated to 300V for low-voltage control circuits
• Operating range −20°C to +80°C supports hot environments
• Slate PVC jacket resists mechanical wear and abrasion
• FT1 FT4 VW-1 fire behaviour reduces flame propagation risk
• UL CE CSA approvals simplify international use
**Applications**
• Suitable for control and signal wiring on factory machinery
• Ideal for remote circuit controls and telephony connections
• Used for intercom and unbalanced audio systems in plants
• Can be used with instrumentation and monitoring equipment
• Suitable for tray or conduit installations in automation racks

What conductor construction is used and why does it matter?
Stranded tinned copper conductors are used to improve flexibility for routing and to provide better oxidation resistance than bare copper, aiding longevity in moving or vibratory installations.
How does the cable’s fire behaviour classification affect installation decisions?
The FT1, FT4 and VW-1 classifications indicate limited flame spread characteristics of the insulation and jacket materials, informing selection where reduced fire propagation is required by local regulations or site safety policies.
What mechanical environments are compatible given the jacket and insulation choice?
The PVC insulation combined with a slate PVC jacket offers resistance to abrasion and general mechanical wear, making the cable suitable for industrial wiring runs, cable trays and fixed installations where moderate handling may occur.
Is this cable suitable for outdoor exposure or direct burial?
The product’s materials and ratings describe indoor industrial use
the datasheet does not specify direct burial or prolonged outdoor exposure suitability, so use in those conditions should be assessed against local installation requirements.
What temperature limits should installers observe during assembly?
Installers should keep ambient and operating temperatures within the specified minimum of −20°C and maximum of +80°C to maintain conductor and jacket integrity during service.
