NXP Series
Twisted Pair Conductors
Mil Spec, U.L. AWM
Recognized Style 2343 or 2344 and CSA Certified AWM II A/B*
National Wire & Cable Corporation manufactures a complete line of MINIATURE low voltage signal and control cable. Available as cabled pairs or cabled singles, with optional overall shield. Conductors are stranded tinned copper with .010” wall of vinyl primary insulation for use up to 105°C. per MIL-W-16878/1.
Insulated for 600 volts working voltage. (Also meets U.L. AWM Type 1061; 300 volt, 80°C.) All are coded using 10 standard colors plus stripes on white.
All conductors are planetary cabled and contra-helically laid for optimum flexibility, with a Mylar tape barrier under shields. Shielded cables have a tinned copper braid overall, of 85-90% coverage per MIL-C-7078;and braid angles below 40° for easy pushback.
The outer jacket is black abrasion-resistant 105°C. vinyl meeting MIL-I-631 Type F. All materials are self-extinguishing and fungus-resistant. All items are U.L. STYLE 2343 COMPUTER CABLE; rated 80°C (Higher temp. ratings apply for any non-U.L. service). Meets RS-423 for 20-24 gauges.
*U.L. and/or CSA certification furnished only when requested.
Standard Putups: 500 and 1000 ft. No-deposit reels.
