18 AWG 2-Conductor FEP Plenum 200°C Cable

Description
18 AWG 2-Conductor FEP Plenum 200°C Cable
The RWC-FP18-2U is an 18 AWG, 2-conductor FEP plenum cable, Belden 89740 compatible. Two 19x30 stranded tinned copper conductors are twisted into a pair and insulated with FEP. The red FEP outer jacket brings the overall diameter to 0.144 in (3.66 mm).
Rated CMP per NEC Article 800, this cable is approved for installation in plenum air-handling spaces without conduit. The all-FEP construction handles continuous temperatures from −70°C to +200°C (UL rated 150°C) and provides inherent resistance to chemicals, oils, and UV exposure — suitable for extreme high/low temperature environments, outdoor, and underground applications.
