RS485 Data Cable (Shielded Twisted Pair, 120 Ω)

Shielded twisted-pair cable with 120 Ω impedance for RS-485, Modbus RTU, Profibus-type and BMS communication. Foamed PE insulation, tight pair twisting and foil-plus-braid shielding keep data clean over long distances in factories, energy meters, HVAC and building automation.

  • 120 Ω impedance matched to RS-485 transceivers
  • Low capacitance for long bus lengths and higher baud rates
  • Foil + braid screen with drain wire against EMI
  • Equivalent to common 3105A / 9842-type constructions
