UL2464 Test Equipment Communication Cable — Shielded D-Sub Welded Terminal Harness

Product Overview

Description

The UL2464 Testing & Production Equipment Communication Cable is the workhorse data cable for any factory floor, test lab, or production line that needs reliable multi-conductor signal links between cabinets, instruments, and controllers. UL2464 is the UL-recognized internal-wiring style — tinned copper conductors, PVC insulation, gray PVC outer jacket, 300V at 80 °C, VW-1 flame retardant. The shielded variants add an aluminum-foil + tinned-copper braid shield with a drain wire, giving the cable the EMI immunity needed for clean signaling in noisy industrial environments full of motor drives, switching power supplies, and RF sources.

Two builds ship as standard: 5×24AWG (5×0.3 mm²) and 8×24AWG (8×0.3 mm²), both shielded and gray-jacketed. Beyond standard, we build 2 to 25 conductors in 28AWG, 26AWG, 24AWG, 22AWG, and 20AWG gauges. Termination is the industry-favorite D-Sub (DB) family — DB9, DB15, DB25, DB37, DB50, and high-density variants HD15 / HD26 / HD44 / HD62 — in both male and female with gold-plated contacts, copper welded (solder-cup) joints for low contact resistance, metal shells with EMI-grounding teeth, and thumbscrew or jackscrew locking. P1 / J100 cable identification labels are applied per drawing for traceability.

Every finished assembly passes 100% continuity test, insulation resistance (≥ 100 MΩ at 500 VDC), pin-to-shell isolation, and a 500 VAC / 60-second hi-pot withstand check. Shielding continuity is verified end-to-end with a milliohm meter. Soldered D-Sub joints are pull-tested per IPC/WHMA-A-620. Materials are RoHS and REACH compliant. Custom lengths from 100 mm to 30 m, custom pin assignments (straight-through, crossover, custom map), and overmolded strain-relief boots are all available. SGS pre-shipment inspection on request — MOQ from 10 pcs, sample lead time 7–10 days.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is UL2464 and why is it the right cable here?

UL2464 is a UL-recognized internal-wiring style for multi-conductor cables used inside electronic equipment — computers, controllers, instruments, test stations. It specifies tinned copper conductors with PVC insulation and a PVC outer jacket rated 300V at 80 °C, with VW-1 flame retardancy. The shielded version adds aluminum-foil + tinned-copper braid for EMI immunity. This is the workhorse cable for board-to-board, chassis-to-chassis, and equipment-to-equipment communication runs that need clean signal integrity in noisy industrial environments.

What conductor counts and cross-sections are available?

Standard builds are 5×24AWG (5×0.3 mm²) and 8×24AWG (8×0.3 mm²), both shielded and gray-jacketed. Beyond standard we build 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 16, 20, 25-core variants in 28AWG, 26AWG, 24AWG, 22AWG, and 20AWG. Multi-color insulation per UL convention; shielded foil + braid available on every variant.

Which D-Sub connector pin counts do you offer?

All standard D-Sub sizes — DB9 (9-pin), DB15 (15-pin), DB25 (25-pin), DB37 (37-pin), DB50 (50-pin), and high-density variants (HD15, HD26, HD44, HD62) — in both male and female with gold-plated contacts. Termination is copper welded (solder cup) for low-resistance signal integrity. Metal shells with EMI-grounding teeth and thumbscrew or jackscrew locks are standard. P1/J100 cable labels per drawing.

Which equipment is this cable designed for?

The cable fits machine vision systems (camera-to-controller), PLC racks and remote I/O, test fixtures and production-line instruments, oscilloscopes and signal generators, lab instruments (DAQ, spectrum analyzers, programmable power supplies), CNC controllers, and serial/parallel data buses (RS-232, RS-485, parallel ports). The flat gray jacket with D-Sub ends is the de-facto industry standard for industrial communication links.

What testing and certification do you provide?

UL2464 recognized wire (UL file E reference on request). Each finished assembly passes 100% continuity test, insulation resistance (≥ 100 MΩ at 500 VDC), pin-to-shell isolation, and a hi-pot withstand at 500 VAC for 60 seconds. Soldered D-Sub connections are pull-tested per IPC/WHMA-A-620. Shielding continuity verified end-to-end. RoHS and REACH compliant. SGS pre-shipment inspection on request.
