Belden Inc. 5340U1 010Z1000 1-pair 18 Awg Pvc Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 5340U1 010Z1000 is a 1-pair, 18 AWG instrumentation and audio control cable featuring PVC insulation and a black PVC jacket. Designed for low-voltage signal and control wiring applications, this cable delivers reliable conductivity and mechanical protection in commercial and industrial environments. The 18 AWG conductor size handles light control and audio signal loads with stable performance. The dual PVC construction — inner insulation and outer jacket — provides resistance to moisture, abrasion, and common industrial contaminants. It is typically installed by electricians, low-voltage technicians, and systems integrators working on building automation, intercom, or audio distribution systems.

This cable suits residential and commercial installations where a single twisted pair is required for audio signal transmission, intercom wiring, control loop circuits, or low-voltage instrumentation runs. It is well suited for in-wall or conduit routing in commercial buildings, light industrial facilities, and structured wiring applications. The black outer jacket blends with standard installation environments and is compatible with common cable management systems. Installers working on background music, paging, or control wiring will find this cable appropriate for those low-voltage signal runs.

Key Features

• 1-pair configuration for dedicated signal or control circuit routing
• 18 AWG conductor gauge suitable for low-voltage audio and control applications
• PVC insulation provides dielectric protection and flexibility
• Black PVC outer jacket offers abrasion and moisture resistance
• 1000-foot reel length reduces splice points on long runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style low-voltage control and audio signal cable for use in commercial, residential, and light industrial wiring systems requiring a single twisted pair at 18 AWG.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage technician in accordance with NEC Article 725 or 800 as applicable to the signal type and voltage class. De-energize any connected equipment before terminating conductors. Observe minimum bend radius guidelines for PVC-jacketed cable to avoid conductor damage during pulling. Verify local code requirements for in-wall or plenum routing, as this cable carries a PVC jacket and may not be rated for plenum spaces without a separate conduit pathway.
