Choosing an industrial control cable isn't just about matching a connector. You also have to decide whether you need bulk length, a specific gauge, a brand-specific part, or a price that fits a one-off job. These four listings span from a long Amphenol spool to a single Keyence cable, with listed prices from USD 91.00 to USD 1,199.99. Each one solves a different part of the control-cable puzzle.
Quick Take
If you're looking for the most cable for the lowest listed price, the Amphenol spool is the standout. If you need a 12-wire, 14 AWG cable in a 475-ft roll, the Belden-CH 580479 is your match. The Belden 2AS-1801POS offers an 18 AWG cable with a 600V rating on a 482-ft roll, while the Keyence OP-87529 is a single-cable option for a specific controller platform.

Product Notes
Amphenol 850 ft Spool
Listed at USD 91.00, this black Amphenol spool is the lowest-priced cable in the group and the longest single run at 850 ft. The attributes note three pins and a wire-mounting type, which makes sense for a basic industrial wire/cable. The listing is New - Open box, so the cable itself is unused even though the packaging may not be sealed. If you need a lot of cable and your application doesn't require a high wire count, this spool is the obvious starting point. The trade-off is that this is a three-pin wire, not a 12-conductor cable, so it won't handle a job that needs multiple control circuits in one jacket.
Belden-CH 580479
At USD 1,199.99, this is the highest listed price in the roundup, and it's also the only cable that carries a 14 AWG 12-wire description in the title. That combination matters if you need 12 conductors in a single cable at 475 ft. The listing includes the Belden-CH brand and the MPN 580479, with the condition listed as New - Open box and a 1-year warranty noted in the description. It's also labeled as made in the United States. The catch is the price: at USD 1,199.99 it's the most expensive listing here, so you'll want to make sure the 12-wire, 14 AWG construction is exactly what the job requires.
Belden 2AS-1801POS-B-B/R
Listed at USD 641.24, this Belden roll sits in the middle of the price range. The title says it's a 482-ft roll of industrial control cable, and the model/type line spells out 18AWG, 600V, TC, 150V NPLF, 90C Dry/Wet. That makes it a good fit for applications where you need a specific voltage and temperature rating. The MPN includes both 1120A 01010000 and 2AS-1801POS-B-B/R. The flip side is that it's an 18 AWG cable on a 482-ft roll, which gives you less length than the Amphenol spool and a different conductor gauge than the 12-wire Belden.
Keyence OP-87529
Keyence OP-87529 is listed at USD 190.00 as a single new cable, with the controller platform identified as Automate and the country of origin as Japan. If you're replacing a specific Keyence part and the model number matches what you need, this listing gives you a direct way to get that part in new condition. It's not a bulk spool, so it's not meant for a job that needs hundreds of feet. That said, the listed attributes focus on the model number, brand, and Japan origin, so this listing works best if you're matching a known Keyence part rather than comparing conductor specs.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
If you want the most footage for the lowest listed price, go with the Amphenol spool. If you need a high-conductor-count cable, choose the Belden-CH 580479. If your job calls for a voltage-rated roll, the Belden 2AS-1801POS is a solid match. And for a single Keyence cable, the OP-87529 is the part to pick.
