Alpha Wire Alpha Essentials Communication & Control Series 2 Core Screened, 4.32 mm OD, 304 m, Slate

Belden Alpha Essentials Communication & Control Series Audio Cable, 304m Cable Length, 300V Voltage - 2466C SL001

This audio cable is a screened two-core conductor designed for communication and control environments. It provides signal transmission for audio and low-voltage circuits while operating across typical industrial temperature ranges. The construction includes tinned copper conductors within a slate polypropylene jacket that resists common environmental conditions, making it suitable for use in automation and electronic installations where a compact, shielded audio lead is required.

Features & Benefits

• 0.22mm² tinned copper conductor offering consistent conductivity
  7-strand conductor construction improving Flex and terminations
  Screened pairing to reduce EMI and preserve signal integrity
  Rated for 300V for compatibility with control systems
  Operating range down to -20°C enabling low-temperature deployment
  Maximum continuous temperature 75°C for elevated ambient use

**Applications**

• Suitable for unbalanced intercom and sound system wiring
  Ideal for remote circuit control connections in panels
  Used with telephone and low-voltage signal equipment
  Can be used for audio installations within control cabinets

What is the conductor construction and why does it matter?

Conductors are tinned copper MADE from seven strands per core
this strand count increases flexibility for repeated routing and improves solderability and corrosion resistance at terminations.

How does the screening influence installation in electrically noisy environments?

The cable has an overall screen that attenuates external electromagnetic interference, reducing hum and crosstalk when routed near power or signalling conductors.

What jacket material is specified and what are its advantages?

The outer jacket is polypropylene in a slate colour
polypropylene provides good chemical resistance and dimensional stability while maintaining a low-profile cable assembly.

How is the cable supplied for bulk installations?

The cable is available in long lengths suitable for bulk cutting to length, permitting minimal waste and accurate run planning for large installations.

Which approvals and voltage ratings should installers reference?

The cable carries recognised electrical approvals and is rated to 300V for communication and control circuits, ensuring it meets typical regulatory expectations for such uses.
