The first of its kind, this UL Direct Burial rated, waterblocking RS-485 cable is installable directly underground without a separate conduit, saving you set-up time, material, and labor costs.

Achieve reliable, long-distance installation with low capacitance and prevent data distortion or errors.

Protect against harsh elements with a unique waterblocking and water-resistant construction as well as UV, oil, noise, fire and crush resistance.

Save time and money - no underground conduit needed in installation

Your Benefits System integrators and installers can reduce network installation costs and hassles in the field with Belden's UL-rated RS-485 Direct Burial cable. Built with a water-blocking construction, the cable does not require a separate conduit to protect it from the elements when buried underground. In addition to robust water protection, the 300V PLTC rating enables use of the cable in power limited trays. The UL UV resistance and CM fire resistance ratings also keep the cable safe in outdoor environments. The low capacitance of the RS-485 Direct Burial cable means it can reliably perform over long distances without data distortion or transmission errors, such as when network communication between factories or plants is required.

Applications Specifically designed with ratings to withstand exposure to water, fire and sunlight, the RS-485 Direct Burial cable is ideal for settings that require reliable performance underground. Any remote application that relies on strong signals over long distances, like solar plant and outdoor lighting systems that require 120 Ohm direct burial cables are an ideal fit for this cabling.

Markets Belden's RS-485 Direct Burial cable benefits a wide range of markets such as energy, mining, water/wastewater, general manufacturing, oil and gas, security, transportation and mass transit, airport and seaport industries.
