The **832 SL078** is a specific part number for a high-performance **Multi-Conductor Communication and Control Cable** manufactured by **Alpha Wire**. It belongs to the "EcoGen™ EcoCable® Mini" product line, which is designed to be a smaller, lighter, and more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional PVC cables. --- ### 1. Technical Specifications The following table highlights the core electronic and physical attributes of the 832 SL078: | Feature | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Manufacturer** | Alpha Wire | | **Conductor Count** | 2 Conductors | | **Gauge Size** | 22 AWG | | **Stranding** | 19/34 (Tinned Copper) | | **Insulation Material** | mPPE (Modified Polyphenylene Ether) | | **Jacket Material** | mPPE | | **Voltage Rating** | 300 Volts | | **Temperature Range** | -40°C to +80°C | | **Shielding** | Unshielded | | **Color** | Slate (Gray) | --- ### 2. Key Material Advantages The "SL078" suffix typically refers to the color (Slate) and the bulk packaging (usually a 25-foot or 100-foot put-up, depending on the distributor). The electronic performance is driven by its **mPPE insulation**: * **Dielectric Strength:** mPPE has excellent dielectric properties, allowing for thinner walls compared to PVC while maintaining the same electrical integrity. * **Weight & Size:** This cable is approximately **32% smaller** and **44% lighter** than standard PVC control cables. * **Eco-Friendly:** It contains no halogens, phthalates, or heavy metals, meeting RoHS and REACH compliance strictly. It is also 100% recyclable. --- ### 3. Application Use Cases Because of its small footprint and durability, the 832 SL078 is used in specific electronic environments: 1. **Industrial Control Systems:** Used for sensors and actuators where space in cable trays is limited. 2. **Medical Devices:** Ideal for portable medical equipment due to its low weight and non-toxic materials. 3. **Communication Lines:** Suitable for low-voltage signal transmission in environments with fluctuating temperatures. --- ### 4.
