Belden DEIP168U is an indoor Digital Electricity™ copper cable designed for Fault Managed Power Systems (FMPS), remote powering, and other indoor power distribution needs. It is built with 16 AWG stranded (19x29) TC - Tinned Copper conductors in 8 pairs and uses PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride insulation. For plenum installations, it features a Flamarrest® jacket with ripcord and carries Plenum-CL4P, CMP, and CMP fire rating details. Electrical characteristics include 450 V RMS UL Voltage Rating, 4.3 Ohm/1000ft Nominal Conductor DCR, and 30 pF/ft (98 pF/m) Nominal capacitance (Cond-to-Cond).
