Product Description
The BELDEN INC. 1229504 is a 3-conductor plus ground power cable built with AWG 8 tinned copper conductors and cross-linked polyethylene (XLP) insulation rated VW-1 flame resistant. The cable incorporates an overall foil shield with braid (OS+B) for noise rejection in electrically demanding environments. It is designed for use in industrial and commercial wiring applications where reliable power distribution, flame resistance, and shielding against electromagnetic interference are required. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this cable type.
This cable is suited for industrial control panels, motor feeds, power distribution runs, and similar fixed-wiring applications where VW-1 flame ratings and shielded construction are specified. The tinned copper conductors resist corrosion in humid or chemically active environments. The XLP insulation provides durability under elevated temperature conditions typical of industrial enclosures and conduit runs.
Key Features
- AWG 8 tinned copper conductors resist corrosion and ensure reliable conductivity
- Cross-linked polyethylene (XLP) insulation for elevated temperature performance
- VW-1 flame rating meets vertical flame test requirements
- 3-conductor plus ground (3C+GRD) configuration for standard power circuit wiring
- Overall foil and braid shield (OS+B) reduces electromagnetic and radio frequency interference
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit cable for industrial power wiring applications requiring AWG 8 shielded multi-conductor construction with VW-1 flame rating.
Installation Notes
Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. De-energize and lockout/tagout all circuits before working with or terminating this cable. Use appropriate cable connectors and conduit fittings rated for the conductor gauge and insulation type. Avoid sharp bends below the minimum bend radius to maintain shield integrity and insulation performance.
