Belden Inc. 5320UL 002U1000 Multimedia Cable 18 Awg

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 5320UL 002U1000 is a 2-conductor, 18 AWG multimedia cable with a flame-retardant PVC (FRPVC) jacket in red, supplied in a 1000-foot reel. This cable is designed for signal and low-voltage power distribution in multimedia, audio, and communications system installations. The FRPVC jacket provides resistance to flame propagation, making it suitable for use in commercial and residential building environments where fire rating is a code requirement. Licensed electricians and low-voltage installers typically specify this cable for in-wall and in-ceiling runs.

This cable is used in multimedia distribution systems, background music, intercom wiring, and similar low-voltage signal applications. The red jacket color aids in circuit identification during installation and future service work. It is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit projects in commercial and residential settings. The 1000-foot reel format supports larger pulls without mid-run splices.

Key Features

• 2-conductor construction for straightforward signal or low-voltage power runs
• 18 AWG conductor size supports longer runs at typical multimedia signal levels
• Flame-retardant PVC (FRPVC) jacket meets fire-resistance requirements for in-building wiring
• Red jacket for easy circuit identification and color-coded system organization
• 1000-foot reel minimizes splice points on large or multi-zone installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 2-conductor 18 AWG multimedia cable suitable for low-voltage signal distribution systems in residential and commercial installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or certified low-voltage technician in accordance with NEC Article 725 and any applicable local codes for signaling and communications cable. De-energize all circuits before terminating or splicing. Avoid routing alongside high-voltage conductors without proper separation as required by code. Observe the cable bend radius during pulls to avoid damaging the jacket or conductors.
