Belden 5303FE 008, Multi Conductor Cable 5C 18 AWG FRPVC Gray

Belden 5303FE 008 is a 5-conductor, 18 AWG security and sound cable for Indoor - Riser (CMR) installations. It uses 5-18 AWG stranded bare copper conductors with PO - Polyolefin insulation and a tape shield with 100% coverage plus a 24 AWG (7x32) TC drainwire. The PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket includes a ripcord, and the cable is rated 300 V (CMR) and 75°C.

Key Features

• 5-conductor, 18 AWG construction for security and sound cabling needs.

Applications

• Use in security system installations where a shielded multi-conductor cable is needed for signal runs.
• Support intercom/PA wiring for audio and control connections within indoor riser pathways.
• Run audio/speaker lines where the listed capacitance and shielding characteristics are required.
• Install for power-limited controls in building systems that call for CMR-rated indoor riser cable.
• Choose for noisy environment installations where shielding helps reduce interference.
