Alpha Wire XTRA-GUARD 2 Control Cable, 8 Cores, 0.81mm², 18 AWG, Screened, Armoured, Black Polyvinyl Chloride 25388 BK005

Alpha Wire 25388 BK005 XTRA-GUARD 2 Control Cable is designed for high-reliability control and signal transmission in challenging industrial and automation environments. This cable features 8 cores constructed from tin copper wire, each with 16 strands of 0.25mm, achieving a cable cross-sectional area of 0.81mm². With a robust armoured and screened construction, it provides excellent protection against mechanical abrasion and electromagnetic interference, making it ideal for CNC machinery, automotive manufacturing, military support systems, packaging lines, petrochemical operations, and geophysical equipment installations.

The cable’s black polyvinyl chloride sheath ensures resistance to chemicals, solvents, oils, and fuels, while also supporting UV light stability and high tear resistance. The cable accommodates voltages up to 300V, and its low-temperature flexibility and flame retardant qualifications (IEC 60332-1-2, UL1581 VW-1) make it safe for populated and enclosed industrial spaces. The Supra-Shield triple-layer aluminium/polyester/aluminium foil and tinned copper braid delivers exceptional shielding, minimizing signal loss and interference.

Operational between -30°C and 90°C, this cable is suitable for demanding environments requiring moderate-to-high chemical resistance and reliable signal integrity. The armoured structure increases resistance to physical impacts and mechanical stresses, improving durability and lifespan in industrial installations.

The cable is supplied in a 30m reel for convenient deployment in various applications, including CNC machinery, automated processes, military ground support, and packaging machinery. It is compliant with CSA, UL, and CE standards, and features low smoke zero halogen characteristics for enhanced safety.

Heavy-duty construction with abrasion resistant properties suitable for harsh industrial settings. Eight colour coded cores, each featuring 16 tin copper strands for robust electrical performance. Screened and armoured with Supra-Shield foil and tinned copper braid for EMI protection.

Black PVC sheath is resistant to chemicals, oils, solvents, and UV exposure. Flexible operation from -30°C to 90°C enables use in diverse environments. Meets CSA, UL, CE, and flame retardancy standards for quality and safety.

30 meter reel simplifies installation in control panels, machinery, and process equipment. Safe for populated areas due to low smoke and halogen-free construction. Ideal for mechanical, automotive, process, and military applications.
