Belden Inc. 1695A 0071000 Multimedia Cable 18 Awg

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 1695A 0071000 is an 18 AWG multimedia cable constructed with a fluorinated ethylene propylene (FFEP) insulation and a shielded design, finished in violet jacket for easy identification. FFEP insulation offers superior heat resistance and low smoke emission compared to standard PVC, making it suitable for plenum-rated and fire-restricted installation environments. This cable is sold by the foot as a single unit and is intended for installation by licensed electricians and low-voltage systems technicians working in commercial and residential structured wiring applications.

This cable is suited for multimedia signal distribution in plenum air-handling spaces, data centers, and commercial buildings where fire-resistant cable ratings are required. The violet color coding assists in cable management and system identification during installation and future service. Typical applications include audio, video, and data signal routing in structured cabling systems where flame-spread and smoke-generation ratings drive cable selection.

Key Features

• 18 AWG conductor size suitable for multimedia signal transmission
• FFEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) insulation for plenum and fire-restricted environments
• Shielded construction to reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) in signal runs
• Violet jacket for straightforward cable identification and color-coded routing
• Sold per foot (EA unit of measure) for flexible quantity purchasing

Compatibility

Designed as a plenum-rated, shielded multimedia cable for use in structured cabling systems requiring FFEP insulation and fire-restricted cable compliance.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage technician in accordance with applicable NEC plenum wiring requirements. De-energize all related circuits before terminating or routing cable runs. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as this can damage the shield integrity and degrade signal performance. Verify local code requirements for plenum-rated cable use before installation.
