Belden Inc. 1855A 010500 Multimedia Cable Fr Pvc

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 1855A 010500 is a shielded multimedia cable designed for professional signal distribution and structured wiring applications. Constructed with a 23 AWG conductor and a polyethylene (PE) dielectric, it uses a GIFHDPE (gas-injected foam high-density polyethylene) insulation system paired with a flame-retardant (FR) PVC outer jacket in black. The foil-and-braid shield construction supports clean signal transmission in environments where electromagnetic interference is a concern. This cable is sold by the unit and is intended for installation by licensed low-voltage technicians and structured cabling professionals.

This cable is suited for multimedia distribution systems in commercial and residential installations where shielded, flame-retardant cabling is required by code or project specification. Typical applications include in-wall routing, equipment rack interconnects, and signal runs in plenum-adjacent or general-purpose conduit pathways where FR PVC jacket ratings are acceptable. The black outer jacket allows for straightforward identification and routing within cable management systems.

Key Features

• 23 AWG conductor with polyethylene (PE) dielectric for consistent signal characteristics
• Gas-injected foam high-density polyethylene (GIFHDPE) insulation for reduced dielectric loss
• Foil shield provides protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI)
• Flame-retardant (FR) PVC outer jacket meets fire safety requirements for general-purpose installations
• Black jacket finish supports easy cable identification and routing
• Sold as a single unit (EA) for straightforward procurement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style multimedia cable suitable for structured wiring, signal distribution panels, and professional AV or data interconnect applications requiring shielded FR PVC construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or structured cabling technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for the cable type and environment. De-energize all connected equipment and signal sources before terminating or routing this cable. Avoid sharp bend radii that could compromise the shield continuity or conductor geometry. Confirm that the FR PVC jacket rating is appropriate for the specific raceway or wall cavity before installation.
