Request certificate or datasheet →UL2587 is a multi-conductor cable manufactured by Xinya Electronic Co., Ltd. The catalogue describes it as a shielded, drag-chain (continuous-flex) construction. It is supplied in 27 recorded constructions spanning 24–28 AWG, with an overall diameter of 6.3–11.1 mm, cut to the length you order.
UL2587 at a glance
- 24–28 AWG, across 27 listed constructions
- Stranded conductor throughout the documented range
- Insulation wall 0.8 mm
- Overall diameter 6.3–11.1 mm
- Max. conductor resistance 94.2–239 Ω/km at 20 °C DC (roughly 28.7–72.8 Ω per 1,000 ft)
- Routine withstand test on every listed row: 2000 V/min
How UL2587 compares with its nearest alternatives
UL2587 and UL20549 sit in the same catalogue group but are rated differently. Overall diameter runs 6.3–11.1 mm for UL2587 against 4.8–8.1 mm for UL20549. UL20549 is the tighter of the two, so UL2587 is the option to take only when the larger diameter is acceptable. Insulation wall is 0.8 mm against 0.4 mm.
Conductor, core count and shielding
Every construction listed for UL2587 is a stranded conductor, which suits harnesses and assemblies that are flexed or routed around a bend. The resistance column gives the maximum permitted value for the conductor at 20 °C DC.
Core counts run from 2 to 10 in the documented range. Overall diameter grows with core count, so the figure to quote for gland, grommet and connector selection is the finished-cable diameter column rather than the single-core insulation diameter.
How to read the UL2587 table
“Insulation O.D. (mm)” is measured over the insulation, not over a jacket, tape or braid. “Jacket O.D. (mm)” is the finished cable diameter, which is the value to quote for gland, grommet and connector sizing. Conductor resistance is stated at 20 °C DC per kilometre — divide by 3.281 for ohms per 1,000 ft.
Questions buyers ask about UL2587
Which sizes of UL2587 are available?
24–28 AWG, across the 27 constructions in the table below. Sizes outside the table can be quoted on request.
Is UL2587 a stranded conductor?
Every construction documented for this line is stranded. Confirm the strand count you need — the “n/mm” figure in the table — because resistance and flexibility both depend on it, and two rows at the same size can differ.
What overall diameter does UL2587 run to?
The documented range is 6.3–11.1 mm. Quote the size, not the style alone, when the diameter has to fit a specific gland, grommet or channel.
