Description
This 24AWG 2 pair cable is a Belden 9842 equivalent, designed for low-voltage data and serial communication systems where screened twisted pair cable is specified.
It is typically used for RS-485 and RS-422 networks, Modbus systems, building management systems (BMS), and industrial control applications. The two-pair configuration makes it suitable for multidrop networks or installations requiring separate transmit and receive pairs.
The construction supports reliable signal transmission in environments where electrical interference is present, such as plant rooms and control panels.

Construction
- 24AWG stranded conductors
- 2 twisted pairs for balanced data transmission
- Overall foil screen with 90% braid for enhanced protection against EMI
- LSZH outer sheath for reduced smoke and zero halogen emissions
- CPR rated Euroclass Cca-s1,d2,a1
- Suitable for BS6701 installations
The combination foil and braid screen provides improved shielding performance compared to foil-only constructions, helping maintain signal integrity on RS-485 data circuits in electrically noisy environments.
Typical Applications
- RS-485 / RS-422 communication networks
- Modbus and other fieldbus systems
- Building management system (BMS) control wiring
- Access control and security systems
- Industrial automation and process control panels
As a Type 9842 Belden equivalent, this cable is suitable for projects specifying that standard, subject to confirmation of conductor size, screening and CPR requirements. Designed for fixed internal wiring where 24AWG 2 pair screened data cable is required.
