Belden 8471 Tinned Copper Twisted Pair Cable (Sold Per Meter / 16 AWG)

The Belden 8471 (SKU: BE8471-1000-060) is an industry-standard, high-durability 1-pair (2-conductor) 16 AWG tinned copper twisted-pair cable designed for marine instrumentation, low-voltage power distribution, audio speaker runs, and RS-485/industrial bus control signals.

Featuring stranded tinned copper conductors (19 * 29 stranding), the Belden 8471 offers exceptional resistance to tarnish, salt-air corrosion, and wire fatigue caused by continuous vessel engine vibration. The conductors are insulated with High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) in a black/white color code and enclosed in a flexible, oil- and UV-resistant Chrome PVC outer jacket. Its unshielded design minimizes line capacitance for long low-voltage AC/DC power and audio signal runs throughout dry and damp interior vessel conduits.

Key Features

  • 16 AWG Marine-Grade Tinned Conductors: Tinned copper strands prevent galvanic oxidation and maintain low resistance across crimped and soldered terminations in humid saltwater environments.

  • Low-Capacitance HDPE Insulation: High-Density Polyethylene wire dielectric provides low capacitance for clean audio transmission and uncorrupted sensor signaling.

  • 19 * 29 High-Flexibility Stranding: Multi-strand conductor layout resists metal fatigue caused by engine vibration and continuous hull flexing.

  • UV & Marine-Resistant PVC Jacket: Flame-retardant outer PVC sheath withstands oil, sunlight, moisture, and mechanical abrasion in cable chases.
