Alpha Wire Alpha Essentials Communication & Control Series Data Cable 1 Pairs 2 Cores 0.81 mm² 305 m Slate Sheath 2241C SL001

Alpha Wire 2241C SL001 Data Cable from the Alpha Essentials Communication & Control Series is a high-quality, single screened pair cable designed for communication and control signal transmission in electrical and automation systems. This cable features a 305 m continuous length with a robust polyvinyl chloride (PVC) outer sheath in slate color, making it suitable for industrial and manufacturing environments requiring durable and reliable wiring.

The conductors are constructed with 16 strands of 30AWG tin-plated copper wire to combine excellent flexibility with conductivity while reducing the risk of corrosion. Electrical screening is achieved by wrapping the pair with aluminum/Mylar tape overlapping 25%, plus a tinned copper drain conductor for effective interference shielding and a low impedance earth path.

The cable is rated for 300 volts and can operate continuously in temperatures ranging from -20°C to 80°C, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. It meets international approvals including CE, CSA, and UL, and conforms to CMG FT4 fire behavior standards suitable for commercial and factory settings.

Key mechanical installation guidelines include observing a maximum pull tension of 33 pounds and maintaining a bend radius of at least ten times the cable diameter to prevent damage to the conductor or sheath. The slate-colored PVC jacket is chemically resistant and offers abrasion protection, with black print identification for easy circuit marking.

This cable is ideal for automated plant control wiring, connecting sensors and controllers, routing signals within electrical cabinets, and instrumentation in mechanical assemblies. Its robust design supports continuous use in demanding industrial environments requiring reliable communication and control.

The cable length is 305 meters continuous for long-run installations. Single screened pair with drain wire enables effective noise reduction. Tin-plated copper conductors enhance durability and flexibility. Slate PVC jacket offers mechanical and chemical protection.

Rated voltage of 300V for moderate-voltage control signals. Operating temperature range from -20°C up to 80°C for versatile use. Complies with CE, CSA, UL, and CMG FT4 fire safety standards. Recommended bend radius and maximum pull tension specified for installation safety.
