Belden Inc. 9451P 010Z500 22 Awg Fep Plenum Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 9451P 010Z500 is a 22 AWG plenum-rated multimedia cable constructed with an FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) jacket and PVC insulation. Designed for low-voltage signal transmission in air-handling spaces, this cable meets plenum installation requirements where building codes restrict the use of standard PVC jackets due to smoke and flame concerns. It is typically specified by low-voltage technicians, AV integrators, and electrical contractors installing structured wiring in commercial and light commercial environments. The FEP construction provides superior heat resistance and low smoke output in the event of a fire, making it a code-compliant choice for above-ceiling and air plenum pathways.

This cable is suited for multimedia signal distribution in plenum-rated installations within commercial office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and similar structures. It is appropriate for audio, intercom, paging, and low-voltage control wiring routed through air-handling plenum spaces. Installers working in jurisdictions enforcing the National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 800 or NFPA 262 flame and smoke requirements will find this cable meets those deployment environments. The black outer jacket provides standard identification in multi-cable runs.

Key Features

• 22 AWG conductor gauge suitable for low-voltage multimedia signal runs
• FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene) plenum-rated jacket for air-handling space installations
• PVC insulation on individual conductors
• Black jacket for standard installation identification
• Plenum rating supports NEC and NFPA 262 compliant installations in air plenums

Compatibility

Designed as a plenum-rated multimedia cable for use in structured low-voltage wiring systems in commercial and institutional buildings where plenum-space cable routing is required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician familiar with NEC Article 800 plenum wiring requirements. De-energize all circuits in the work area before terminating or splicing this cable. Maintain minimum bend radius during routing to avoid conductor damage and signal degradation. Do not substitute this cable in non-plenum runs where standard riser or general-purpose cable is specified, as plenum cable is a one-way upgrade by code.
