Belden Inc. 5000UE 008500 Multimedia Cable 2 Pair 12 Awg

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 5000UE 008500 is a multimedia cable designed for structured wiring and low-voltage signal distribution applications. This cable features a flame-retardant PVC (FR-PVC) outer jacket in gray and a 2-pair, 12 AWG conductor configuration. The FR-PVC jacket provides resistance to flame propagation, making it suitable for use in commercial and residential installations where fire-rated cable is required by code. Low-voltage technicians, systems integrators, and licensed electricians install this cable in audio, video, and data distribution systems where durable, code-compliant wiring is essential.

This cable is suited for multimedia and structured wiring installations in both residential and light commercial environments. Typical applications include in-wall audio distribution, speaker wiring, and low-voltage signal runs where a flame-retardant jacket is specified. The 12 AWG conductor size supports longer runs with reduced signal loss, making it a practical choice for whole-home audio or distributed speaker systems installed by low-voltage contractors.

Key Features

• Flame-retardant PVC (FR-PVC) jacket meets fire-resistance requirements for in-wall and plenum-adjacent installations
• 2-pair conductor layout supports dual-channel or multi-zone wiring configurations
• 12 AWG conductor gauge supports extended cable runs with reduced resistance
• Gray jacket finish for standard in-wall or conduit identification
• Sold individually per unit (EA) for precise quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style multimedia cable for use in low-voltage structured wiring, distributed audio, and signal distribution systems requiring FR-PVC jacketed 2-pair 12 AWG cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician in accordance with NEC Article 725 and applicable local codes for communication and signal cables. De-energize all connected equipment and circuits before making terminations. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, and do not staple through the jacket in ways that could damage conductors. Verify that the FR-PVC jacket rating meets the requirements of the specific installation environment before roughing in.
