Belden Inc. 2118Z0105000 Multimedia Cable 18 Awg

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 2118Z0105000 is an 18 AWG, 1-pair multimedia cable rated for 600 volts with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation. XLPE insulation provides superior resistance to heat, moisture, and chemical exposure compared to standard PVC, making this cable well suited for demanding commercial and industrial signal distribution environments. Licensed electricians and low-voltage systems technicians typically specify this cable for structured wiring, control circuits, and data or audio signal runs where a durable, voltage-rated conductor is required.

This cable is appropriate for commercial and industrial installations requiring a reliable 600-volt rated signal or control cable. Its single twisted pair construction with XLPE insulation suits applications such as building automation control wiring, intercom systems, audio distribution, and general-purpose low-voltage signal runs. The twisted pair geometry helps reduce electromagnetic interference in environments where noise rejection is a priority.

Key Features

• 600-volt rating supports use in commercial and industrial control and signal circuits
• 18 AWG conductor size provides low resistance over longer cable runs
• 1-pair twisted construction reduces electromagnetic interference pickup
• XLPE insulation offers enhanced thermal and chemical resistance versus standard PVC
• Sold as a single unit per the manufacturer unit of measure

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install multimedia cable for commercial and industrial control, signal, and low-voltage wiring applications requiring 600-volt rated, 18 AWG twisted-pair conductors with XLPE insulation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for the intended circuit type and voltage rating. De-energize all circuits and verify zero voltage before terminating conductors. Avoid sharp bends beyond the cable minimum bend radius and secure cable runs with appropriate supports to prevent mechanical stress on the insulation.
