Belden Inc. 5201FE 0081000 Solid Shielded Riser Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 5201FE 0081000 is a solid shielded riser-rated cable constructed with PVC and flame-retardant PVC (FR-PVC) insulation. Classified as a riser cable, it is designed for vertical runs between floors in commercial and residential buildings where building codes require riser-rated (CMR) fire performance. The solid conductor construction and shielding make it well suited for low-signal-loss data and communication wiring applications. Electricians and low-voltage installers work with this cable type when running structured wiring through riser pathways in multi-story installations.

This cable is used in riser installations where plenum-rated cable is not required but open vertical shaft runs demand a flame-retardant rated product. Typical install scenarios include in-wall vertical drops between communications closets, patch panel feeds, and structured wiring backbone runs. The FR-PVC jacket provides the flame spread resistance required for these applications under applicable building and electrical codes.

Key Features

• Riser-rated (CMR) FR-PVC jacket for vertical in-building cable runs
• Solid conductor construction for reduced signal attenuation over distance
• Shielded design helps reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) in signal applications
• PVC and FR-PVC materials meet flame-retardant requirements for riser pathways
• Sold per unit (EA), quantity of 1

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style riser cable for use in commercial and residential structured wiring, data, and low-voltage communication systems requiring a riser-rated shielded cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage technician in accordance with NEC Article 800 riser cable requirements. De-energize all circuits in the pathway before pulling cable to avoid contact with live conductors. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, and secure cable at appropriate intervals per local code requirements.
