Belden Inc. 5341FE 008U1000 2 Pair 18 Awg Shielded Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 5341FE 008U1000 is a 2-pair, 18 AWG foil-shielded multimedia cable with a flame-retardant PVC (FR-PVC) jacket in gray. Sold as a 1000-foot reel, it is designed for low-voltage signal and control wiring in commercial and light industrial installations. The foil shield provides effective interference rejection in environments where electromagnetic noise is a concern. This cable is well suited for AV distribution, building automation control runs, and structured wiring applications where a reliable, code-compliant interconnect is required. Licensed low-voltage contractors and systems integrators are the primary installers of this product.

This cable is used in commercial and residential multimedia wiring installations, including audio-visual signal distribution, building automation systems, and low-voltage control circuits. The 1000-foot reel length is standard for new construction pulls and large retrofit projects. Its FR-PVC jacket meets flame-retardancy requirements commonly specified in commercial building codes, making it appropriate for in-wall and plenum-adjacent routing where the FR rating satisfies the authority having jurisdiction.

Key Features

• 2-pair, 18 AWG construction for low-voltage signal and control applications
• Foil shield (FS) reduces electromagnetic interference along the cable run
• Flame-retardant PVC jacket meets common commercial flame-spread requirements
• Gray jacket color for easy identification in multi-cable installations
• 1000-foot reel length supports full-floor or large-zone pulls without mid-run splices

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 2-pair 18 AWG foil-shielded multimedia cable suitable for low-voltage control, audio-visual, and building automation wiring systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or electrical contractor in accordance with applicable NEC articles governing communication and signal wiring. De-energize all circuits before making terminations at control panels or AV equipment. Avoid sharp bends that could compromise the foil shield continuity, and maintain minimum bend radius per the manufacturer reel documentation. Verify local code requirements for jacket ratings before routing cable inside walls or through fire-rated assemblies.
