Instrument Control Cable Foil Shield Drain

NQ SERIES
Cabled Single Conductors
Mil Spec, U.L. AWM
Recognized Style 2464 and CSA Certified AWM II A/B
National Wire & Cable Corporation manufactures a complete line of highly flexible micro-miniature low-voltage instrument control cable .These are available as cabled pairs or singles, with optional overall shield of either foil with drain or a braided shield.

Conductors are stranded tinned copper with .010” wall of tough extruded polyvinyl chloride primary insulation, rated for 300 volt use at +80°C under U.L. style 1061*. All are color coded using ten standard colors plus white with stripes per MIL-STD-681.

Conductors are planetary cabled and helically laid for optimum flexibility, with a barrier under braids. Shielded cables have a tinned copper braid of 90% coverage per
MIL-C-7078, with braid angles below 40° for easy pushback; or have 100% coverage foil shield in intimate contact with a drain wire for easy termination.

The outer jacket is highly flexible abrasion-resistant gray polyvinyl chloride thermoplastic, meeting the requirements of U.L. style 2464. The jacket material is military rated for 105°C; meets MIL-l-631, Type F. Meets EIA for RS-232, 18-24 gauges.

Military certification furnished only when requested.
All materials are flame retardant and fungus resistant. Standard Putups: 500 and 1000 ft. No-deposit reels. For shorter quantities or specific lengths, consult factory.

*Wire also meets MIL-W-16878, rated 600 volts, +105°C.

Specifications

Insulation Breakdown Voltage	Greater than 3400 volts AC RMS, 60cps.
Capacitance	Nominal capacitance from a wire to all else in a cable ranges from 25 to 45 pf/ft at 1 kc, depending on gauge and position.
Insulation Leakage	200 megohms/1000 feet minimum @ 500 VDC form conductor to all else in cable.
Sheath Leakage	10 megohms/1000 feet minimum @ 500 VDC from shield or conductor group through sheath to ground.
Bending Characteristics	All cables are suitable for flexing to a circle diameter of 6 cable diameters from +105°C to -20°C. Recommended flex diameter should be greater than 20 cable diameters for flexing at -40°C. For continuous flexing applications consult the factory.
Temperature Range	U.L. rating: +80°C per U.L. style 2464. - Military: Continuous use from -40°C to +105°C.
Foil Shielded Cables	The nominal over-all diameter of foil shielded cables will be .006” greater than the non-shielded cables of the same conductor count and wire size.
Characteristic Impedance (NQP Paired Cables)	Ranges from 150 ohms to 45 ohms, dependent on wire size (AWG), geometry and drive method. Consult our technical staff for data on specific cable types.
