Belden 5341FE 008, Multi Conductor 2 Pair 18 AWG FRPVC Gray

Belden 5341FE 008 is a Security & Sound Cable for indoor riser (CMR) installations, built with 2 pairs of 18 AWG stranded bare copper conductors and PP - Polypropylene insulation. It uses an overall tape shield (Bi-Laminate (Alum+Poly)) with 100% coverage and a 24 AWG (7x32) TC drainwire to support noise-resistant performance. A PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket with ripcord helps with stripping and routing, and it is rated 300 V (CMR) with UL 1666 Riser / FT4 flame performance.

Key Features

• 2 pairs of 18 AWG stranded bare copper conductors (BC - Bare Copper) for Security & Sound Cable installations.
• Overall tape shield (Bi-Laminate (Alum+Poly)) with 100% coverage and a 24 AWG (7x32) TC drainwire for noise-resistant performance.
• PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket with ripcord for easier stripping and routing.
• 300 V (CMR) rating with UL 1666 Riser, FT4, and IEC 60332-1-2 flammability / reaction to fire performance.
• Sequential footage marking every two feet for easier measuring and installation tracking.
