18 AWG 2-Conductor FEP/PVC Plenum Unshielded Cable

18 AWG 2-Conductor FEP/PVC Plenum Unshielded Cable

The RWC-FVP18-2U is an 18 AWG, 2-conductor FEP/PVC plenum cable similar to Belden 82740. Two 19x30 stranded tinned copper conductors are individually insulated with FEP. The LS-PVC outer jacket brings the overall diameter to 0.152 in (3.86 mm).

Rated CMP per NEC Articles 725 and 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 +60°C, suitable for indoor plenum applications, low voltage analog signals, control circuits, and panel wiring.
