Fire Resistant RS485 Databus Cables

 

23 Fire Resistant RS485 Databus Cables

Application:

The cables are designed for RS485 data connections where continued functionality is required during a fire situation. This cable combines low capacitance insulation with one of the highest levels of screening to provide high speed, interference free, data transmission where continued functionality is required during a fire situation.

STANDARDS:

Basic design to EIA/TIA 485

VOLTAGE RATING:

60V
