Belden Inc. 1695A 0061000 Multimedia Cable 18 Awg

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 1695A 0061000 is an 18 AWG shielded plenum-rated multimedia cable designed for signal transmission in commercial and institutional building infrastructure. Constructed with FFEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) insulation, this cable meets the stringent flame and smoke requirements for plenum air-handling spaces. It is sold individually by the unit and is intended for installation by licensed low-voltage electricians and communications contractors working in structured cabling environments. The plenum jacket rating makes it suitable for runs through air ducts and open ceiling return-air spaces where standard PVC jacketed cable is not permitted by code.

This cable is used in multimedia distribution systems within commercial, institutional, and light industrial facilities. Typical applications include audio-visual signal runs, structured cabling pulls, and low-voltage data or control wiring in plenum ceiling spaces. The FFEP construction makes it a common choice for projects requiring compliance with NFPA 90A air-handling plenum requirements. It is appropriate for new construction and renovation work where fire code compliance drives cable selection decisions.

• Sold as a single unit for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum multimedia cable for use in low-voltage structured cabling and signal distribution systems in commercial and institutional applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage electrician or communications cabling contractor in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 800 and applicable local fire codes. De-energize any connected equipment before terminating or splicing. Plenum-rated cable must be used in air-handling ceiling and duct spaces as required by NFPA 90A — do not substitute standard PVC-jacketed cable in these areas. Follow manufacturer bend-radius guidelines to avoid signal degradation during pulls.
