Belden Inc. 1855A 0041000 Multimedia Cable 23 Awg

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 1855A 0041000 is a 23 AWG multimedia cable constructed with a polyethylene (PE) insulation and a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) shielding layer. The outer jacket is a flame-retardant (FR) PVC compound in yellow. Designed for structured cabling and multimedia signal distribution applications, this cable is specified by low-voltage electricians, AV integrators, and data infrastructure technicians. The yellow jacket aids in visual circuit identification in multi-cable installations, and the FR-rated PVC jacket meets common fire code requirements for plenum and riser-adjacent runs where FR-rated materials are called out.

This cable is suited for commercial and residential multimedia distribution systems, including audio, video, and data signal runs. The 23 AWG conductor gauge is a standard size for structured wiring applications. It is typically installed in wall cavities, conduit, cable trays, and above-ceiling pathways. The yellow jacket color is commonly used to designate specific signal types or circuit categories on larger job sites, making it easier to trace and manage cable runs during installation and future service.

Key Features

• 23 AWG conductor with polyethylene insulation for stable signal transmission
• High-density polyethylene (HDPE) shielding layer for interference rejection
• Flame-retardant PVC outer jacket meets common fire code requirements
• Yellow jacket for easy circuit identification in multi-cable environments
• Sold as a single unit (EA) for flexible quantity procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style multimedia cable for use in structured wiring, AV distribution, and low-voltage signal systems where 23 AWG FR-rated cable is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage electrician or qualified AV technician in accordance with applicable NEC articles for low-voltage wiring. De-energize all circuits in the work area before terminating or splicing. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, and do not over-cinch cable ties, as either condition can degrade signal performance. Confirm local fire code requirements for jacket ratings before routing through walls or plenums.
