IDEALINK promotes and stocks Foundation Fieldbus Cables for two-way digital communication. Using these cables, especially the Type A FB cables, allows for greater control and monitoring with fewer wires and less installation hazards. On a project, these cables help the end-user to add value to the installations and that too at Hazardous locations.
Enquire NowCommunication is provided over standard twisted-pair wiring and conformance to FF-844 H1 and IEC 61158-2 standards.
Enquire NowConductor | Tin-Coated, annealed copper, in solid, 7-strand, or 19-strand configurations from 18 AWG to 16 AWG and equivalent metric sizes. |

Flame Retardancy Std | IEEE 1202, UL 1685, FT4, IEC 60332 |
Temperature Rating | -50ºC to 105°C. |
Hazardous Zone | Class I, Division 1 & 2, and Class I, Zone 1, 2, & 3 Ratings are Available. |
Other Options | Low Smoke Zero Halogen, per IEC 61034 and IEC 60754 Conductors per ASTM B3, B33, B8, and IEC 60228, AS/NZS 1125 REACH & RoHS Compliant. ER (Exposed Run) rating is available for many constructions. ER rated cables are designed and tested for impact and crush resistance per UL criteria. With the ER rating, cables are allowed to run outside of trays or conduit for an unlimited distance, provided the cable is supported every 6 feet or less. |
