Belden Inc. 5200UP 0081000 Audio Cable 2 Conductor 16 Awg

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 5200UP 0081000 is a 2-conductor, 16 AWG bare copper audio cable designed for professional and commercial audio signal distribution. Constructed with bare copper conductors, it delivers reliable signal transmission in fixed audio installations. The unshielded design suits applications where electromagnetic interference is not a primary concern. Licensed electricians and low-voltage technicians are the typical installers for this cable type.

This cable is suited for in-wall or open-plenum audio runs in commercial, institutional, and residential settings. It is commonly used to connect amplifiers, speakers, and audio distribution equipment in background music systems, paging systems, and similar low-voltage audio wiring applications. The 16 AWG gauge provides a balance of current-carrying capacity and flexibility appropriate for moderate cable run lengths.

Key Features

• 2-conductor configuration for straightforward speaker or line-level audio wiring
• 16 AWG bare copper conductors for solid conductivity and low resistance
• Unshielded construction keeps the cable profile lean for easier routing in conduit or raceways
• Sold per unit quantity as indicated by the supplier unit of measure

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation audio cable for 2-conductor, 16 AWG wiring applications in commercial and residential audio systems.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage audio cable of this type is typically installed by licensed electricians or low-voltage cabling technicians in accordance with NEC Article 725 or Article 640 requirements for audio signal wiring. De-energize all connected amplifiers and audio equipment before terminating or splicing conductors. Use appropriate wire strippers rated for the AWG size and terminate connections with listed connectors or terminal blocks to ensure a secure, low-resistance joint.
