Belden Inc. 8522014100 18 Awg Stranded Pvc Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 8522014100 is an 18 AWG stranded PVC-insulated cable finished in a white and black color scheme. Stranded construction gives the conductor flexibility for routing through tight conduit runs, junction boxes, and equipment enclosures. The PVC jacket provides basic protection against abrasion, moisture, and common shop chemicals encountered in light industrial and commercial environments. Electricians and HVAC technicians use this type of cable for low-voltage control wiring, thermostat circuits, and general signal runs where a flexible, color-coded conductor is needed to simplify field terminations.

This cable is suited for residential and light commercial applications where 18 AWG stranded conductors are specified. Typical uses include low-voltage thermostat wiring, control panel hookup, and short branch circuit extensions inside enclosures. The two-conductor white and black color coding supports straightforward polarity identification during installation and future troubleshooting. It is sold per unit as indicated by the supplier unit-of-measure designation.

Key Features

• 18 AWG stranded conductor construction for improved flexibility in tight routing scenarios
• PVC insulation rated for general-purpose indoor wiring environments
• Two-conductor white and black color coding for fast polarity identification
• Stranded build reduces fatigue cracking compared to solid wire in applications with minor movement or vibration

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose stranded PVC control cable suitable for low-voltage wiring applications in residential and light commercial electrical and HVAC systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for the circuit type and installation environment. De-energize all circuits and confirm zero voltage with a meter before making or breaking any terminations. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, and secure the cable at appropriate intervals per code to prevent strain on terminations. Do not use this cable in applications exceeding its rated insulation temperature or voltage class.
