Belden’s RS-485 Direct Burial cable is well-suited for any application requiring
reliable communication amidst exposure to water, sun and risks of flammability.
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.
