Belden 5303UE 008 is a security & sound riser (CMR) multi-conductor cable with 5-18 AWG stranded bare copper conductors and PP - Polypropylene insulation. It features a PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket and includes a ripcord for easier stripping. Electrical performance includes 300 V, 6.79 Ohm/1000ft DCR, and 4 Amps per Conductor at 25ºC, with sequential footage marking every two feet for efficient pulls and cut-to-length accuracy.
