Belden Inc. 83556002500 Multimedia Cable Fep Shielded

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 83556002500 is a shielded multimedia cable featuring FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) insulation and an FEP jacket. FEP insulation is rated for high-temperature and plenum-rated environments, making this cable a practical choice for installations where fire codes require low-smoke, low-flame-spread materials. The shielded construction helps protect signal integrity by reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI). This cable is sold as a single unit and is intended for installation by licensed electricians and low-voltage technicians working in commercial and residential structured wiring applications.

This cable is suited for multimedia distribution systems where FEP-rated materials are required by local fire and building codes. Typical installations include plenum spaces, above-ceiling runs, and other air-handling environments where standard PVC-jacketed cable is not code-compliant. The shielded design supports cleaner signal transmission in areas with high EMI density, such as data centers, commercial office builds, and AV distribution closets.

Key Features

• FEP insulation and FEP outer jacket for plenum-rated performance
• Shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference on the signal path
• Suitable for air-handling and plenum space installations where fire code compliance is required
• Sold as a single unit (EA), compatible with standard multimedia cable distribution workflows

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install multimedia cable for plenum-rated structured wiring and AV distribution systems requiring FEP-insulated, shielded cable construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage technician in accordance with NEC Article 800 and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits in the work area before terminating or routing cable. Avoid sharp bend radii that could damage the FEP jacket or compromise the shield. In plenum spaces, verify that the cable rating meets the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction before installation.
