Belden 6542FE 877, Multi Conductor 3 Pair 22 AWG FLRST FS
Description
Belden 6542FE 877 is a Plenum-CMP security & sound cable with 3 pairs of 22 AWG stranded bare copper conductors. It features Flamarrest® insulation, an overall Beldfoil® tape shield with drain wire, and a Flamarrest® PVC jacket with ripcord. Rated 300 V, it meets NFPA 262 (UL910) and FT6 requirements for plenum installations.
Key Features
- Plenum-CMP security & sound cable construction for plenum installations.
- 3 pairs of 22 AWG stranded bare copper conductors (7x30).
- Overall Beldfoil® tape shield with 100% coverage and drain wire for grounding.
- Flamarrest® PVC jacket with ripcord for cleaner pulls and terminations.
- Sequential footage marking every two feet.
Applications
- Use for security system wiring where a plenum-rated cable is required.
- Connect intercom/PA systems in building spaces that call for CMP cable.
- Run audio/speaker lines where an overall shield helps manage noise in noisy environment installations.
- Install in power-limited control circuits in plenum areas.
