Description

The BELDEN INC. 8304 0601000 is a low-capacitance, stranded twisted pair cable engineered for RS-232 serial data communication applications. Constructed with 22 AWG stranded conductors arranged in a 4-pair configuration, this cable is designed to maintain signal integrity over extended runs where capacitance buildup would otherwise degrade data transmission. It is categorized as a security-grade stranded twisted pair cable, making it a reliable choice for installers working on access control, alarm, and serial communication wiring projects. Licensed low-voltage electricians and security system technicians are the primary installers of this cable type.

This cable is suited for security and data applications requiring dependable RS-232 serial communication, including access control panels, intrusion detection systems, and other low-voltage signal wiring installations. Its stranded construction provides flexibility during installation in commercial and residential security system environments, particularly in applications where the cable must be routed through conduit or around corners without performance compromise. The low-capacitance design supports signal fidelity across the full conductor run.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage electrician or qualified security systems technician in accordance with applicable NEC low-voltage wiring requirements. De-energize all connected equipment and panels before terminating or splicing conductors. Use appropriate punchdown or crimp termination tools rated for 22 AWG stranded wire. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that could damage the twisted pair geometry and compromise signal performance.
