Belden 6545FE 877 is a Plenum-CMP security & sound cable built with 6 pairs of 22 AWG stranded bare copper conductors and a PVC - Polyvinyl Chloride jacket. It uses a 100% tape shield made from Bi-Laminate (Alum+Poly) with a 24 AWG (7x32) TC drainwire type, and includes a ripcord for easier stripping. Key electrical characteristics include a UL Voltage Rating of 300 V, a Nom. Conductor DCR of 17.5 Ohm/1000ft, and a Max. current of 2 Amps per Conductor at 25ºC.

Applications
- Designed for security system wiring in indoor environments.
- Use it for intercom/PA installations where paired conductors are needed for signal distribution.
- Choose it for audio/speaker runs in noisy environments where shielding is beneficial.
- Intended for power-limited control applications in indoor settings.
- Well-suited for noisy environment installations where improved noise rejection is desired.
