Belden 6306FE 877, FLRST FS Multi Conductor 8C 18 AWG Natural
Description
Belden 6306FE 877 is a plenum-rated security & sound cable with 8 stranded 18 AWG BC - Bare Copper conductors, PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride insulation, and a PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket with ripcord. It includes an overall tape shield with 100% coverage and a 24 AWG (7x32) TC drainwire to support noise rejection in demanding indoor installations. The cable is UL Voltage Rating: 300 V and meets NFPA 262 and UL 910 (Plenum). Nominal Overall Diameter is 0.246 in (6.25 mm) for pathway planning, and it includes sequential footage marking every two feet for easier measuring and pulls.
Key Features
- Plenum-rated construction for indoor - plenum and indoor installations, meeting NFPA 262 and UL 910 (Plenum) flammability / reaction to fire requirements.
- 8 stranded 18 AWG BC - Bare Copper conductors for security & sound wiring needs.
- Overall shield: tape with 100% coverage and Shield Material: Bi-Laminate (Alum+Poly), plus Drainwire type: 24 AWG (7x32) TC.
- PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket with Ripcord: Yes to support easier stripping and routing.
- UL Voltage Rating: 300 V.
- Sequential footage marking every two feet to help track pull length and cut accuracy.
Applications
- Use for security system wiring in indoor plenum spaces where listed fire performance requirements are needed.
- Run intercom/PA lines where shielded construction helps manage interference in noisy environment installations.
- Connect audio/speaker circuits that benefit from an overall shield and drainwire for noise control.
- Support power-limited controls in indoor pathways where consistent footage marking helps maintain accurate cut lengths.
- Install in noisy environment installations where the shielded design supports improved noise rejection.
