Belden Inc. 82842 877500 Shielded Cable 2 Pair 24 Awg

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 82842 877500 is a shielded, plenum-rated instrumentation cable constructed with 2 pairs of 24 AWG conductors insulated with fluorinated ethylene propylene (FFEP). Designed for use in air-handling spaces where plenum fire ratings are required by code, this cable is built to support low-voltage signal and control circuits in commercial and industrial environments. The FFEP insulation provides excellent chemical resistance and low smoke output under fire conditions. Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians or low-voltage systems contractors working in plenum ceilings and raised-floor data or controls environments.

This cable is suited for instrumentation, process control, and building automation applications where signal integrity and fire code compliance are both critical. Plenum-rated cables like this one are required by the National Electrical Code in air-circulation spaces. The 2-pair, shielded configuration supports balanced signal transmission with protection against electromagnetic interference, making it appropriate for sensor wiring, thermostat loops, and similar low-level analog or digital signal runs in commercial buildings.

Key Features

• 2-pair, 24 AWG conductor configuration for low-voltage signal and control circuits
• FFEP insulation rated for plenum (FLRST) air-handling space installations
• Overall shield for EMI and RFI noise rejection on signal pairs
• Low smoke and flame characteristics meet plenum fire code requirements
• Suitable for instrumentation, building automation, and process control wiring

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum instrumentation cable for use in 2-pair, 24 AWG shielded cable applications in commercial building automation, HVAC controls, and instrumentation systems where plenum fire ratings are required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage contractor in accordance with NEC Article 800 and applicable local codes for plenum-rated cabling. De-energize all circuits before terminating or splicing. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, and do not install in conduit alongside high-voltage conductors without verifying code separation requirements.
