Belden Inc. 1695A 0031000 Multimedia Cable Plenum Orange

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 1695A 0031000 is an 18 AWG multimedia cable constructed with a fluorinated ethylene propylene (FFEP) insulation and jacket, designed for plenum-rated installations where flame spread and smoke emission requirements apply. The cable features an overall shield for signal integrity and is finished in orange for easy identification in cable runs. It is suited for professional AV, data, and control signal distribution in commercial and institutional settings. Licensed electricians and low-voltage contractors are the typical installers for this product.

This cable is intended for use in plenum air-handling spaces such as dropped ceilings and raised floors where building codes require CMP-rated materials. The orange jacket aids in circuit identification during installation and maintenance. It is applicable in multimedia distribution systems, control wiring, and signal transmission runs within commercial buildings, educational facilities, healthcare environments, and similar structures where plenum compliance is mandatory.

Key Features

• FFEP insulation and jacket provides plenum-rated flame and smoke performance
• Overall shield reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) on signal lines
• Orange jacket aids in cable identification within multi-cable installations
• 18 AWG conductor suitable for multimedia and low-voltage control signal applications
• Sold per unit (each) for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as a plenum-rated shielded multimedia cable for use in commercial low-voltage signal and control wiring applications where FFEP jacketed, CMP-class cable is required by code or specification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage contractor in accordance with applicable NEC Article 800 and local building code requirements for plenum-rated cable. De-energize all circuits and verify the installation environment qualifies as a plenum air-handling space before routing cable. Avoid sharp bends beyond the cable minimum bend radius and do not over-cinch cable ties, as either can degrade shielding effectiveness and signal performance. Terminate shield drains properly at one end to prevent ground loops on sensitive signal circuits.
