Belden 5300UE 0101000 2C 18 Awg Security Cable Black

Product Description

The Belden 5300UE 0101000 is a 2-conductor, 18 AWG stranded unshielded security cable with a flame-retardant PVC (FR-PVC) jacket in black. Built for low-voltage security and alarm wiring applications, this cable delivers reliable signal transmission in installations where an unshielded, stranded conductor construction is the appropriate specification. The FR-PVC jacket provides flame resistance suited to in-wall and conduit routing in commercial and residential security system installations. It is sold by the unit as specified by the supplier UOM.

This cable is used in low-voltage security, alarm, and access control wiring applications. The 2-conductor, 18 AWG stranded configuration makes it a common choice for door contacts, motion detectors, glass break sensors, and similar security devices. It is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit installations where a black jacket blends with standard conduit or surface-mount wiring runs.

Key Features

• 2-conductor stranded construction for flexibility during installation and routing
• 18 AWG conductor size suitable for low-voltage security and alarm circuits
• Flame-retardant PVC jacket for compliance with fire-rated installation environments
• Black jacket finish for standard security wiring aesthetics
• Unshielded design appropriate for applications where EMI shielding is not required

Compatibility

Designed as a standard stranded unshielded security cable for use in residential and commercial low-voltage security and alarm system wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security systems technician in accordance with applicable local codes and NEC Article 725 for Class 2 and Class 3 remote-control and signaling circuits. De-energize the security panel and any connected devices before terminating conductors. Avoid sharp bends or kinking during pull-through to preserve conductor integrity and jacket condition.
