Belden 5300UE 008U1000 Multimedia Cable 2C 18 Awg

Product Description

The Belden INC. 5300UE 008U1000 is a 2-conductor, 18 AWG multimedia cable with a flame-retardant PVC (FR-PVC) jacket in gray. Designed for low-voltage signal and control wiring, this cable is suited for commercial and residential AV, security, and building automation installations. The FR-PVC jacket provides fire-resistance compliance for in-wall and plenum-adjacent runs where non-plenum ratings apply. Installers working in structured wiring, intercom, or access control applications will find this cable a reliable choice for organized, color-coded gray jacket pulls.

This cable is commonly used in multimedia, AV distribution, security, and low-voltage control wiring applications. It is appropriate for both commercial and residential environments where a 2-conductor, 18 AWG construction meets signal and control circuit requirements. Typical install scenarios include intercom wiring, speaker runs, access control field wiring, and general low-voltage control circuits routed through conduit or open plenum-adjacent pathways.

Key Features

• 2-conductor construction for straightforward signal and control circuit wiring
• 18 AWG wire gauge suitable for low-voltage control and audio signal applications
• Flame-retardant PVC (FR-PVC) jacket for fire-resistance in applicable installations
• Gray jacket color aids cable identification and organized routing in multi-cable runs
• Sold per unit length as specified in order quantity

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit cable for low-voltage multimedia, AV, and control wiring systems requiring 2-conductor 18 AWG construction with FR-PVC jacketing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or electrical contractor in accordance with NEC Article 725 for Class 2 and Class 3 remote-control and signal circuits. De-energize all connected systems before terminating or splicing conductors. Avoid sharp bend radii that could damage the jacket or compromise conductor integrity. Verify local code requirements for jacket rating before routing through walls, ceilings, or conduit.
