18 AWG 1-Pair FEP/PVC Plenum Shielded Cable

18 AWG 1-Pair FEP/PVC Plenum Shielded Cable

The RWC-FVP18-1PS is an 18 AWG, 1-pair FEP/PVC plenum cable with an overall foil shield, similar to Belden 82760. Two 19x30 stranded tinned copper conductors are twisted into 1 pair and insulated with FEP. The cable is protected by an overall 100% aluminum foil shield with a 20 AWG stranded tinned copper drain wire. The LS-PVC outer jacket brings the overall diameter to 0.148 in (3.76 mm).

Rated CMP per NEC Article 800, this cable is approved for installation in plenum air-handling spaces without conduit. The FEP insulation provides excellent chemical and moisture resistance, while the LS-PVC jacket offers flexibility and low-smoke performance. Operating temperature range is −20°C to +75°C, suitable for indoor plenum applications, low voltage analog signals, control circuits, and panel wiring.
