Belden 5200FE 008 is a security and commercial audio cable for indoor riser (CMR) installations, built with 2 stranded 16 AWG BC - Bare Copper conductors and PP - Polypropylene insulation. It uses an overall tape shield made from Bi-Laminate (Alum+Poly) with a 24 AWG (7x32) TC drainwire to help reduce interference in noisy environments. The PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket includes a ripcord and sequential footage marking every two feet for easier stripping and more accurate cut lengths. It is rated 300 V (CMR) and meets UL 1666 Riser, FT4, and IEC 60332-1-2, with CPR Euroclass: Eca.
Key Features
- 2 stranded 16 AWG conductors (19x29) using BC - Bare Copper for security and commercial audio wiring.
- Overall tape shield with 100% coverage using Bi-Laminate (Alum+Poly), plus a 24 AWG (7x32) TC drainwire.
- PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket with ripcord and sequential footage marking every two feet.
- Indoor riser environmental suitability with a 300 V (CMR) rating and UL 1666 Riser, FT4, and IEC 60332-1-2 flammability / reaction to fire.
