Belden 5341UE 008, Multi Conductor 2 Pair 18 AWG FRPVC Gray

Belden 5341UE 008 is a security & sound riser (CMR) cable with 2-18 AWG stranded bare copper pairs and a PVC jacket. It uses PP - Polypropylene insulation with color coding Black & Red, Black & White for identification during installation. Electrical performance includes a 300 V rating, 6.55 Ohm/1000ft DCR, and 29 pF/ft (95 pF/m) capacitance Cond-to-Cond. Designed for indoor riser pathways, it includes a ripcord and sequential footage marking every two feet.

Key Features

• 2-18 AWG stranded bare copper pairs for security & sound wiring needs.
• PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket with a ripcord for easier pulls and stripping.
• PP - Polypropylene insulation with color code Black & Red, Black & White for clear conductor identification.
• Sequential footage marking every two feet to support measuring and installation.
• Indoor riser suitability with NEC / UL compliance: Article 800, CMR.

Applications

• Supports security system wiring in indoor riser pathways where organized pair identification helps during installation.
• Ideal for intercom/PA installations that need a paired construction for signal and control connections.
• Suitable for audio/speaker runs in building pathways where a riser-rated cable is required.
• Commonly used in power-limited controls to route low-voltage control circuits through indoor riser spaces.
