Belden 6300FE 009, 18 2C Stranded BC O A FS LSPVC CMP White

Belden 6300FE 009 is a Security & Commercial Audio Cable for Indoor - Plenum and Indoor installations, built to meet CMP requirements for code-compliant routing. It features a 2-conductor 18 AWG design with BC - Bare Copper conductors, PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride insulation, and a PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket with ripcord. For noise rejection, it uses a tape shield with Bi-Laminate (Alum+Poly) material and a 24 AWG (7x32) TC drainwire.

Key Features

• Plenum-rated construction for Indoor - Plenum and Indoor installations with NEC / UL compliance: Article 800, CMP.
• 2 x 18 AWG stranded conductors (7x26) using BC - Bare Copper with PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride insulation.
• Tape shield with Bi-Laminate (Alum+Poly) and 100% coverage, plus a 24 AWG (7x32) TC drainwire.
• PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket with ripcord for easier stripping and routing.

Applications

• Use in security system installations where a plenum-rated cable is required for indoor pathways.
• Run intercom/PA wiring in commercial spaces that need code-compliant plenum cabling.
• Connect audio/speaker lines where shielded construction helps support signal integrity.
• Install in noisy environment locations where shielding is beneficial for reducing interference.
