Description
Belden 5401FE 008 is a security and commercial audio cable for intercom/PA systems and sound/audio systems. It features 3 stranded 20 AWG BC - Bare Copper conductors with PP - Polypropylene insulation and an overall Beldfoil® tape shield with a drain wire. Designed for indoor riser installations, it uses a PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket with ripcord and is rated CMR under Article 800. Sequential footage marking every two feet helps simplify measuring and pulls.
Key Features
- 3 stranded 20 AWG BC - Bare Copper conductors for security and commercial audio wiring.
- PP - Polypropylene insulation with color code: Black, Red, White.
- Overall Beldfoil Shield tape (foil side out) with drain wire for shielded signal runs.
- PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket with ripcord for indoor riser installations.
- Sequential footage marking every two feet to support measuring and pulling.
- Fire rating: Riser-CMR; NEC / UL compliance: Article 800, CMR.
Applications
- Use in intercom/PA systems where shielded audio/control wiring is needed.
- Support sound/audio systems that benefit from an overall shield with drain wire for cleaner signal runs.
