Belden Inc. 8770 060500 Multimedia Cable 18 Awg

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 8770 060500 is a 3-conductor, 18 AWG multimedia cable constructed with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) insulation, a foil shield (FS), and a PVC outer jacket in a chrome finish. This cable is engineered for signal integrity in demanding multimedia and audio/video distribution applications. The foil shield provides full coverage to reduce electromagnetic interference, while the LDPE dielectric maintains stable electrical characteristics across a range of operating conditions. It is installed by licensed electricians and low-voltage systems technicians working in commercial and residential AV, broadcast, or control wiring environments.

This cable is suited for permanent or semi-permanent multimedia system installations where shielded, multi-conductor runs are required. Typical applications include audio distribution, intercom wiring, control signal routing, and similar low-voltage signal cable work in rack-and-panel or in-wall installation scenarios. The chrome-colored jacket aids in visual identification and cable management in complex wiring environments.

Key Features

• 3-conductor configuration for multi-signal or multi-channel runs
• 18 AWG conductor gauge for low-resistance signal transmission
• LDPE insulation for stable dielectric performance
• Full-coverage foil shield (FS) to minimize EMI and RFI interference
• PVC outer jacket in chrome finish for durability and easy identification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style multimedia signal cable suitable for use in low-voltage audio, video, and control wiring systems where 3-conductor 18 AWG shielded cable is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for signal and communication cables. De-energize all connected equipment before terminating conductors. Avoid sharp bends or kinking that could compromise the foil shield continuity. Verify shield drain wire termination at one end only to prevent ground loops in sensitive signal applications.
