Belden Inc. 734C120081000 Low-smoke Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 734C120081000 is a specialty cable built with a low-smoke, halogen-free jacket construction suited for installations where fire safety and smoke emission standards are a primary concern. The designation references an LDPE and flame-retardant, halogen-free LDPE or PVC jacket system, indicating a multi-layer insulation and jacketing approach common in plenum, riser, and life-safety wiring applications. This cable is intended for use by licensed electricians and low-voltage systems contractors working on commercial or industrial projects where code compliance around smoke and toxic gas emission is required.

This cable type is commonly specified in commercial buildings, transit infrastructure, marine environments, and industrial facilities where NFPA or IEC standards restrict the use of standard PVC-jacketed cables in enclosed or occupied spaces. It is sold per unit as a single-piece item and is categorized as a general-purpose specialty cable. Installers typically use it in conduit, cable tray, or open plenum runs depending on the specific jacket rating of the assembly.

Key Features

• Low-smoke, halogen-free jacket construction reduces toxic gas and smoke output in fire conditions
• LDPE and flame-retardant jacket layers provide dual-layer protection against heat and flame spread
• Suitable for commercial and industrial fire-safety-sensitive wiring applications
• Sold as a single unit (EA) per order increment

Compatibility

Designed as a specialty low-smoke halogen-free cable for commercial, industrial, or life-safety wiring applications requiring reduced smoke and halogen-free jacket compliance.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC articles and local fire and building codes. De-energize all circuits and verify zero voltage before terminating or splicing. Observe minimum bend radius requirements during pulling to avoid jacket or insulation damage. Do not over-cinch cable ties, as excessive compression can deform the jacket layers on halogen-free compounds.
