Belden Inc. 35618 0125000 Multimedia Cable 18AWG 600V

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 35618 0125000 is an 18 AWG stranded multimedia cable insulated with cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) rated for 125 degrees C and 600 volts. XLPE insulation provides superior resistance to heat, abrasion, and chemical exposure compared to standard PVC constructions, making it well suited for demanding signal and control wiring environments. The pink jacket aids in circuit identification during installation and maintenance. This cable is typically installed by licensed electricians and low-voltage technicians working in commercial, industrial, and multimedia distribution systems.

This cable is applied in multimedia wiring installations where elevated temperature ratings and 600-volt insulation are required. Typical uses include audio-visual system wiring, control circuits, and structured cable runs in commercial buildings, data centers, and industrial facilities. The stranded conductor construction improves flexibility, making it practical for routing through conduit, cable trays, and tight enclosures during new construction and retrofit projects.

Key Features

• 18 AWG stranded conductor for improved flexibility in routed installations
• XLPE insulation rated to 125 degrees C for high-temperature environments
• 600-volt rating suitable for power-limited and control circuit applications
• Pink jacket color supports easy circuit identification and color-coded wiring schemes
• Classified as multimedia cable for AV, control, and signal distribution use

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use multimedia cable for 18 AWG stranded XLPE wiring applications requiring a 125 degrees C, 600-volt rated insulation system.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for the cable type and installation environment. De-energize all circuits before making connections and verify the installation complies with local code requirements for cable routing, conduit fill, and support spacing. Avoid sharp bends that could damage the XLPE insulation, and confirm the temperature and voltage ratings are appropriate for the specific circuit before installation.
