Description
Belden 638AFS 000 is a composite lock access control cable for plenum (CMP) indoor installations that combines multiple shielded elements into a single run. It uses stranded bare copper conductors with Flamarrest® insulation and includes subcables for card reader, door contact, REX/spare, and lock power circuits. Each element includes a 100% tape shield and a 24 AWG (7x32) TC drainwire, and the Banana Peel® design provides no jacket for the outer jacket. It supports 300 V and meets NFPA 262 and UL 910 (Plenum).
Belden 638AFS 000 Key Features
- Composite lock access control cable that combines multiple shielded elements in one streamlined run.
- Plenum-CMP rated for indoor - plenum, indoor installations.
- Stranded bare copper conductors with Flamarrest® insulation across all elements.
- Element shielding includes tape, bi-laminate (Alum+Poly), 100% with a 24 AWG (7x32) TC drainwire.
- Banana Peel® construction with no jacket for the outer jacket.
- UL voltage rating: 300 V.
- Flammability / reaction to fire: NFPA 262, UL 910 (Plenum), IEC 60332-1-2.
Belden 638AFS 000 Applications
- Route card reader, door contact, REX/spare, and lock power circuits together in a single run for access control installations.
- Use in indoor - plenum, indoor security system wiring where a plenum-CMP fire rating is required.
- Specify for power limited controls applications that require 300 V cabling and plenum compliance.
