Hello,
Do you have a data sheet for the Alpha Wire 3131441 TN002 that confirms the jacket color is TAN?
Also, could you please confirm whether this product is supplied only in TAN color and not in Beige?
Thank you.
Welcome to the community.
The data sheet linked from the product page shows that the jacket color is natural.
Natural means they do not control the color of the material, instead it varies between production runs based on the natural color of the stock PTFE impregnated fiberglass received and the processing conditions on the day it is manufactured.
The cable that DigiKey currently has in stock may be tan, but Alpha is free to provide the full range of shades for natural PTFE impregnated fiberglass.
Also I believe there is no formal technical definition of either tan or beige. So if you need a specific color shade, you should use one of the formal color designation systems.
Hello jwchang,
I see the Catalog pages lists it as Tan PTFE-Impregnated fiberglass jacket. This is on page number 413.
I do not see any other color options available.
Interesting, the catalog page and the data sheet claim two incompatible specifications (tan vs. natural).
Somebody needs to ask Alpha to clear up this major discrepancy before there is a problem and somebody has to eat a shipment due to color differences.
