Belden Inc. 5320FE 0081000 Multimedia Cable 2C 18 Awg Gray

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 5320FE 0081000 is a 2-conductor, 18 AWG multimedia cable with a flame-retardant PVC (FR-PVC) jacket in gray. It is designed for low-voltage signal and audio distribution applications in commercial and residential installations. The foil shield and plenum-rated construction make it suitable for runs through environmental air spaces and conduit where fire and smoke performance requirements apply. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the typical installers for this product.

This cable is well suited for multimedia distribution systems, background music, paging, and similar low-voltage wiring projects. The gray FR-PVC jacket blends into standard commercial environments and is compatible with a wide range of terminated connectors and punch-down hardware. The 1000-foot spool length supports large commercial runs without mid-run splices, reducing signal loss and labor time on longer pulls.

Key Features

• 2-conductor, 18 AWG construction for low-voltage signal and audio circuits
• Flame-retardant PVC (FR-PVC) jacket for fire-rated installation environments
• Foil shield (FS) for interference rejection in multimedia applications
• Gray jacket color for standard commercial and structured wiring installations
• 1000-foot spool reduces splices on long cable runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install multimedia cable for low-voltage signal distribution systems requiring 2-conductor 18 AWG shielded cabling with a flame-retardant jacket.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or certified low-voltage technician in accordance with NEC Article 725 and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits and confirm the circuit is dead before terminating conductors. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as this can damage the foil shield and degrade signal performance. Verify that the installation environment permits FR-PVC jacket material before pulling the cable.
