Alpha Wire XTRA-GUARD 2 Control Cable, 4 Cores, 0.23 mm² 24 AWG, Screened, 30 m, Black Polyvinyl Chloride Sheath

This control cable is a screened, four-core cable designed for transmitting control and instrumentation signals in industrial settings. It offers a flame-retardant construction and a black PVC outer sheath for environmental protection, enabling use across a broad temperature span in automated and electrical systems.

• 7-strand tinned copper conductors ensure flexible conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Screened assembly with foil and drain wire reduces electromagnetic interference
• Rated for 300V to support typical control voltage systems
• Flame-retardant materials limit fire propagation in installations
• Operates between -30°C and 90°C for low-temperature resilience
• Multi-layer core wrap and tape maintain consistent cable geometry

• Suitable for instrumentation wiring in factory automation systems
• Ideal for signal runs between PLCs and peripheral devices
• Used for control circuits in electrical panels and motor drives
• Can be used for cable assemblies requiring screened cores
• Suitable for retrofit installations in harsh indoor environments

Each conductor comprises 7 strands of tinned copper, offering a balance of flexibility and conductivity.

The screen uses aluminium/Mylar foil with a tinned-copper drain conductor and defined foil orientation to provide consistent shielding performance.

Cores are cabled with a non-woven polyester tape wrap and arranged from inner to outer layers to preserve layout and reduce internal movement.

The jacket is a black PVC formulation selected for sunlight resistance and mechanical protection while allowing ripcord-assisted sheath removal.

The outer print includes manufacturer identification, style and temperature/voltage classifications, and RoHS compliance indicators as part of product traceability.
