Belden 5200FE 008U is a security and commercial audio cable for Indoor - Riser (CMR) indoor installations. It features 2-conductor 16 AWG construction with BC - Bare Copper stranding (19x29), PP - Polypropylene insulation, and a tape shield made from Bi-Laminate (Alum+Poly) with 100% coverage plus a 24 AWG (7x32) TC drainwire. The PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket includes a ripcord, and the cable is rated UL Voltage Rating: 300 V (CMR) with UL temperature: 75°C. Sequential footage marking every two feet supports easier measuring during installation.
