Belden Inc. 5304UE 008500 Security Sound Cable Riser-cmr

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 5304UE 008500 is a multi-conductor security and sound cable rated for riser (CMR) installations. It is constructed with 6 conductors at 18 AWG, making it suitable for low-voltage audio distribution, access control wiring, and security system installations. CMR-rated cable meets the requirements for vertical runs between floors, where fire-spread resistance is required by code. Licensed electricians, low-voltage technicians, and security system installers typically work with this cable type in both new construction and retrofit projects.

This cable is used in commercial and residential security and sound system installations. It is appropriate for intercom systems, speaker distribution, door access control panels, and alarm system wiring where a riser flame rating is required. The 6-conductor configuration supports multi-zone or multi-function wiring runs from a central panel to devices throughout a building. It is sold as a single unit (EA) per the supplier unit of measure.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation cable for low-voltage security and sound systems requiring CMR-rated multi-conductor wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or electrical technician in accordance with NEC Article 800 requirements for communications riser cable. De-energize all connected equipment before terminating conductors. Use appropriate cable staples or J-hooks rated for communications cable to secure runs, and avoid sharp bends that could damage conductor insulation. CMR cable is approved for riser use but is not rated for plenum spaces — verify the installation environment before pulling cable.
