Belden Inc. 5500UG 008U1000 Security Sound Cable Cm

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 5500UG 008U1000 is a CM-rated security sound cable designed for low-voltage audio and security signal transmission in commercial and residential installations. Built with 2-conductor, 22 AWG construction, this cable delivers reliable signal integrity for alarm panels, intercom systems, and background audio runs. The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating qualifies it for in-wall and general-purpose cable routing where riser or plenum ratings are not required. Licensed low-voltage technicians and security system installers typically specify this cable for structured wiring projects.

This cable is suited for security, access control, and sound distribution applications in residential and light commercial environments. The 2-conductor, 22 AWG configuration handles typical signal and control runs between devices such as door contacts, motion detectors, speakers, and control panels. It is appropriate for surface-mount conduit or concealed in-wall routing where CM-rated cable meets local code requirements.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security systems technician in accordance with NEC Article 800 requirements for communications cable. De-energize all connected panels and equipment before terminating conductors. Avoid running low-voltage signal cable parallel to high-voltage power wiring to minimize interference. Verify local code requirements to confirm CM rating is acceptable for the intended routing path before installation.
