Belden 5508UE 008U, Multi Conductor 10C 22 AWG PO FRPVC Gray

Belden 5508UE 008U is a security & sound riser (CMR) multi-conductor cable with 10 stranded 22 AWG bare copper conductors and a PVC jacket. It uses PP - Polypropylene insulation with a 10-color code for clear conductor identification and includes a ripcord for easier stripping. Electrical characteristics include UL voltage rating: 300 V, nom. conductor DCR: 17.41 Ohm/1000ft, nom. capacitance cond-to-cond: 22.7 pF/ft (74.5 pF/m), and max. current: 2 Amps per Conductor at 25ºC.

Key Features

• 10 stranded 22 AWG bare copper conductors support multi-conductor security & sound wiring.
• PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride outer jacket includes a ripcord for easier stripping during installation.
• PP - Polypropylene insulation uses color code: Black, Red, White, Green, Brown, Blue, Orange, Yellow, Purple, Gray for clear identification.
• Sequential footage marking every two feet helps with measuring and pulling runs.
• Riser fire rating with flammability / reaction to fire: UL1666 Riser, FT4, IEC 60332-1-2.

Applications

• Use in security system wiring when multiple identified conductors are needed in a single run.
• Choose for intercom/PA installations that benefit from organized, color-coded conductors for terminations.
• Support audio/speaker connections that require a multi-conductor cable for routing signals between devices.
• Fit power-limited controls where clear conductor identification supports clean control wiring layouts.
