Belden 5300UP 010, Commercial Audio Cable 2C 18 AWG PVC FRPVC Black

Belden 5300UP 010 is a commercial audio cable with 2 conductors of 18 AWG stranded bare copper (42x34), built for indoor general-purpose CM installations. It uses PVC insulation and a PVC jacket, and it is unshielded (No Shield). Electrical characteristics include 6.27 Ohm/1000ft DCR, 27 pF/ft (89 pF/m) capacitance, and a 300 V UL Voltage Rating. A ripcord and sequential footage marking every two feet help support easier stripping and faster measuring during pulls.

Key Features
