Foundation Fieldbus Cable

Thread Starter

Bill Townsley

Could anybody let me know if there is a cable suitable for the following:
2 pair tw/sh individual and overall shield
18 gauge or larger
low capacitance (less than 24pF/foot)
suitable for future Foundation Fieldbus use.

Currently need a cable with low capacitance for a MTS level gauge installation. Cable will be converted to fieldbus use in the future when instruments are changed to FF option.

Prefer 18 gauge or larger since we will be running about 600 foot distances.

Thanks,
Bill.

Mr Bill in emerson control site or easydeltaV.com you can find a demo program that can simulate the distances of your segments when using FF.Also you can find the types of wire you want according to various instruments.Also I can send you that program if you want and another calculating from Yokogawa.I beleive -but not quite sure the AGW23 is quite good but if you want reply to my mail:
