Description
The BELDEN INC. 5302FE 008U500 is a 4-conductor, 18 AWG multimedia cable constructed with a flame-retardant PVC jacket in gray. It is designed for signal and control wiring applications where fire-resistance and reliable shielding are required. The foil shield helps reduce electromagnetic interference, maintaining signal integrity in installations where multiple cable runs share conduit or tray space. Licensed electricians and low-voltage technicians are the primary installers of this cable type in commercial and light-industrial environments.
This cable is suited for multimedia, audio, and low-voltage control wiring in commercial buildings, integrated systems, and structured wiring applications. The flame-retardant outer jacket meets common requirements for in-wall and plenum-adjacent runs where fire codes govern cable selection. Its gray jacket aids visual identification in multi-cable installations. The 500-unit quantity per unit of measure supports project-scale deployments.
Key Features
- 4-conductor configuration supports multi-channel signal or control wiring
- 18 AWG conductor size provides suitable current capacity for low-voltage control applications
- Foil shield reduces electromagnetic and radio frequency interference
- Flame-retardant PVC jacket meets fire-resistance requirements for commercial installations
- Gray jacket finish for easy visual identification in cable trays and conduit runs
Compatibility
Designed as an OEM-style multimedia cable for use in commercial low-voltage, audio, and control wiring systems requiring a shielded 4-conductor 18 AWG cable with a flame-retardant jacket.
Installation Notes
Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for the cable type and installation environment. De-energize all circuits before terminating or splicing cable runs. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as this can compromise the foil shield and affect signal performance. Verify local code requirements for jacket ratings before routing through walls, plenums, or cable trays.
