Detailed description

The ALPHAWIRE 1178L multiconductor cable is designed for applications requiring reliable connectivity in demanding environments. This unshielded cable features 8 tinned copper conductors of 22 AWG (0.35mm²), each with LSZH insulation (low smoke, zero halogen) with a nominal thickness of 0.010 inches. The outer LSZH jacket in slate color, with a nominal thickness of 0.025 inches, provides protection against mechanical and environmental stresses.

Electrical Performance and Compliance

With a nominal voltage rating of 300 VRMS, the ALPHAWIRE 1178L cable has a nominal capacitance of 26 pF/ft at 1 kHz between conductors and a nominal inductance of 0.18 µH/ft. The conductor resistance is 16.4 Ω/1000ft at 20°C. Its design meets UL CMG and CSA International FT4 standards, with an operating temperature range of -20 to 75°C. It complies with European RoHS2/RoHS3 and REACH directives, ensuring no hazardous substances are present. Unlike shielded cables, this unshielded version is suitable for applications where electromagnetic interference protection is not critical, offering a simpler and more cost-effective solution for signal transmission.

Safety and Installation

This cable is specifically tested for fire safety, meeting IEC 60332-1 for flame resistance, IEC 60754-1 and 60754-2 for acid gas emission, and IEC 61034-2 for smoke emission. These LSZH certifications make it suitable for installations where the safety of people and equipment is paramount, particularly in confined spaces on vessels. Its flexibility, with a bending radius of 10 times the cable diameter, facilitates routing. The 8-conductor configuration makes this cable more versatile than low-conductor-count cables (e.g., 2 or 4 conductors) for integrating multiple sensors or signals into a single bundle.

« Technical analysis: 8x22 AWG multiconductor LSZH cable for marine signals »

The ALPHAWIRE 1178L cable is a practical wiring solution for integrating multiple low-current signals in marine installations. Its 8 conductors with 0.35mm² (22 AWG) cross-section make it suitable for connecting multiple sensors or data buses that do not require specific shielding. Its unshielded design simplifies installation and reduces cost compared to shielded cables, but it should be used in environments where electromagnetic interference is controlled, or for short cable lengths to minimize crosstalk risks.

The main advantage of this model lies in its LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath and insulation. This feature is critical for safety on board vessels, where minimizing toxic and corrosive smoke emissions in case of fire is a priority. An installer will favor this type of cable for cable runs passing through living areas or confined technical compartments. While its temperature range of -20 to 75°C is standard, it is sufficient for most indoor or protected applications. It is less suitable for power applications or environments with strong electromagnetic disturbances, where a shielded cable with a larger cross-section would be required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Need help? Contact us

What does 'unshielded' mean for this cable, and when is it recommended?

The term 'unshielded' means this cable has no metallic protective layer (shielding) against electromagnetic interference (EMI). It is specifically suited for applications where protection against electromagnetic interference is not critical, providing a simpler and more economical solution for signal transmission.

What are the fire safety characteristics of this cable, particularly important for marine use?

This cable is designed with advanced fire safety features, essential for confined environments such as those on ships. It is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) certified, meaning it emits little smoke and no halogens in the event of a fire. It meets the following standards:

IEC 60332-1: For flame retardancy. IEC 60754-1 and IEC 60754-2: Regarding acid gas generation. IEC 61034-2: For smoke emission. These certifications ensure increased safety for people and equipment.

What is the operating temperature range of this Alpha Wire cable?

This cable is designed to operate within a temperature range of -20°C to 75°C. This characteristic makes it suitable for a wide variety of environments, including the variable conditions encountered in marine applications.

How many conductors does this cable have and what type are they?

This multicore cable integrates 8 conductors. Each conductor is made of tinned copper with a 22 AWG (0.35mm²) cross-section, ensuring reliable connectivity.

Is this cable suitable for harsh marine environments?

Yes, this cable is designed for applications requiring reliable connectivity in demanding environments, including marine environments. Its LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer jacket provides protection against mechanical and environmental stresses. Additionally, its operating temperature range of -20 to 75°C makes it resistant to climate variations.

What is the minimum recommended bending radius for installing this cable?

For correct installation and to preserve the cable’s integrity, the minimum recommended bending radius is 10 times the cable diameter. This flexibility eases routing in confined spaces.
