3M Round, Shielded/Jacketed, Flat Cable
.050" 28 AWG Stranded, Mass Terminatable, PVC/PVC 3659 Series
Round construction permits easier routing
28 AWG wire on .050 inch pitch permits mass
termination to broad line of IDC connectors
Continuous split/bond repeat allows for mass
termination on 2.4 inch centers (approximate)
Primary cable is zippable for branching or discrete
terminations
Meets external wiring requirements of National
Electrical Code, Article 725 (CL2)
UL listed for USA and Canadian markets
Dual shielding provides 35 db average shielding
effectiveness
