LSHF Alternative to Belden 5304FE Overall Screened Multicore Data Cable

The conductor material is bare copper, 18(7) AWG, ensuring excellent electrical conductivity. The pair insulation material is made of polypropylene (PP), known for its durability and excellent insulating properties. This cable features 6 cores, each identified by black, red, white, green, brown, and blue for clear identification. The cable is foil screened with 100% coverage of aluminium foil to shield against electromagnetic interference (EMI). The drain wire is tinned copper, 24(7) AWG, for easy grounding. The cable’s sheath material is Low Smoke Halogen Free (LSHF), which limits the release of toxic gases and smoke in the event of a fire. The sheath colour is blue, providing a smooth, durable outer layer that is easy to handle.

The nominal conductor resistance at 20°C is < 24 Ω/km, ensuring efficient power and data transmission. The capacitance core to core is 85 pF/m, while the core to screen capacitance is 160 pF/m, offering stable performance in high-speed data environments. This cable is rated for a voltage of 450/750 V (CE marked FSC branded stock only), and it can withstand a test voltage of 2.5 kV for 5 minutes, making it highly resilient to electrical stress.

The overall diameter of the cable is 7.2mm nominal, with a minimum bend radius of 10 times the outer diameter (OD) to ensure flexibility without damaging the cable. With a temperature rating of -30°C to +70°C, this cable is suitable for a wide range of environments. It has a weight of 63 kg/km, making it a robust and heavy-duty option for industrial applications.

This data cable complies with flame retardant standards BS EN 60332-1-2 and ensures low smoke generation as per BS EN 61034-2. It also meets the halogen gas emission requirements of BS EN 60754-1 & 2, making it safe for use in sensitive environments. The cable is RoHS compliant, ensuring it is free of harmful substances, and has been weather-tested to ISO 4892-3 standards. It is fully CE compliant, meeting the LVD (2014/35/EU) and CPR (305/2011) requirements. The CPR classification is B2ca s1a, d1, a1 (EN 50575:2014+A1:2016), confirming its suitability for use in construction and other high-risk environments.
