Belden Inc. 1695A 0081000 Multimedia Cable Ffep Shielded

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 1695A 0081000 is an 18 AWG shielded multimedia cable constructed with a fluorinated ethylene propylene (FFEP) insulation and jacket. FFEP insulation is specified for installations where low smoke, flame resistance, and high-temperature performance are required. The cable carries a FLRST rating, indicating it meets plenum-rated flame and smoke standards for installation in air-handling spaces. This type of cable is specified by licensed low-voltage installers, systems integrators, and AV or data technicians working in commercial and institutional environments.

This cable is suited for multimedia signal distribution in commercial buildings, hospitals, schools, and other facilities where plenum-rated wiring is required by code. The FLRST designation makes it appropriate for use in raised-floor and plenum ceiling spaces that serve as air return plenums. Its shielded construction helps maintain signal integrity in environments with electromagnetic interference present along the cable run.

Key Features

• 18 AWG conductor gauge for multimedia signal applications
• FFEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) insulation and jacket for high-temperature resistance and low smoke output
• Shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference on signal lines
• FLRST plenum rating meets code requirements for air-handling space installation
• Gray jacket for standard identification in multimedia wiring systems

Compatibility

Designed as a plenum-rated multimedia cable suitable for low-voltage signal distribution systems in commercial and institutional construction where FLRST or plenum cable ratings are required by the applicable fire and building codes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or electrical contractor in accordance with NEC Article 800 and applicable local codes governing plenum-rated cabling. De-energize all connected equipment before terminating or splicing the cable. Maintain minimum bend radius requirements to avoid compromising the shield or conductor integrity. Do not install alongside high-voltage power conductors without maintaining code-required separation.
