DataCell Foundation fieldbus cable is appropriate for rugged plant environments that use networked discrete or process automation and control.

Northwire has introduced DataCell Foundation fieldbus cable.

This cable is appropriate for rugged plant environments that use networked discrete or process automation and control.

DataCell Foundation fieldbus cable is the only cable that is rated for ITC (instrument tray cable)/PLTC (power limited tray cable) exposed-run (ER) applications.

This allows users to eliminate the conduit when the cable is installed in accordance with recent National Electrical Code (NEC) amendments.

In 2002, the NEC was amended to permit exposed runs of certain ITC/PLTC.

This code change is advantageous because metal-clad cable or conduit is no longer required, resulting in significant material and installation cost savings.

DataCell cable complies with Foundation fieldbus H1 specification for type A.

The cable is available in 18AWG with a foil or braided shield, and with or without ground wire.

The cable's PVC jacket is resistant to oil, sunlight and water, and is available in standard and custom colours and versions.

DataCell Foundation fieldbus is also rated for CSA CMX-Outdoor-CMG and FT4.

DataCell cable is shipped direct from the factory and is available in bulk quantities of 300m minimum for shipment stock to 15 days.
