When you're outfitting an industrial control setup, the first question is usually about the weak point in your wiring: is it the connection at the machine, or the distance between cabinets? That decision shapes whether you need something like the CHALITECK waterproof connector or a bulk roll like the Belden control cable. They are both used in industrial wiring, but they are not substitutes. The CHALITECK is a plug-and-socket connector; the Belden is a long cable roll. Choosing the right one comes down to what your installation is missing.
That difference matters when you are planning a new installation: buy the wrong one and you will have either a plug with nothing wired to it or a long cable with no way to connect it.
Quick verdict
If you need a sealed, high-current connection point for industrial equipment, get the CHALITECK connector. If you need a long continuous control-circuit wire run, get the Belden cable. They sit at opposite ends of the same job: the connector is the endpoint, and the cable is the path.

Where each product wins
Choose the CHALITECK connector when your project needs the endpoint itself, not the wire leading to it. The plug pair gives you a complete connection point without needing to build one from parts.
Choose the Belden cable when your job calls for one continuous pulled run. That format is the practical way to cover the distance without joining shorter pieces.
Product notes
CHALITECK 63A Waterproof Connector
Start here when the weak point is the plug. This CHALITECK pair combines male and female pin-style connectors for a 3-phase IEC60309 hookup, and it carries an IP67 rating. It is built for a serious power point rather than a light-duty cord. The limitation is scope: it is a connector, not a cable run. If your installation still needs wire between cabinets, this only solves the end of the circuit. That makes it the piece to buy when your cable is already in place and you just need a dependable connection point.
Belden 18AWG Control Cable
If the challenge is getting control wiring from one place to another, this Belden cable covers a lot of ground. It is a control cable with 600V TC and 150V NPLF markings, and the model specifies 90C dry/wet performance. That makes it a practical choice when you need one long, rated run instead of a patchwork of extensions. The limitation is the condition: it is new open box, so the roll has been opened before. It is also cable only, so you still need a connector or termination at the equipment end.
Final choice by use case
Pick the CHALITECK connector if you are repairing or building a plug point and the cable length is already handled.
Pick the Belden cable if you are running a new control circuit and need enough wire to reach across the floor without a splice.
If the project needs both, measure your run first, then choose the connector that matches the machine-side inlet.
