Belden Inc. 97730605000 Multimedia Cable 3 Pair 18 Awg

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 97730605000 is a 3-pair, 18 AWG multimedia cable constructed with PVC insulation and jacketing. Designed for low-voltage signal transmission, this cable is suited for structured wiring, audio distribution, and multimedia system installations. The foil-shielded pair construction helps reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, making it a reliable choice for commercial and residential multimedia applications. Licensed low-voltage contractors and AV system integrators are the primary trades installing this cable in wall, ceiling, or conduit runs.

This cable is used in multimedia and structured wiring installations where shielded twisted-pair signal runs are required. Typical applications include background audio systems, intercom wiring, and control system cabling in both residential and light commercial settings. Its PVC jacket makes it suitable for use in dry indoor environments and standard conduit installations.

Key Features

• 3-pair configuration supports multiple signal channels in a single cable run
• 18 AWG conductors provide adequate current capacity for low-voltage signal applications
• Foil-shielded pairs reduce EMI and crosstalk between channels
• PVC insulation and jacket suitable for standard indoor installations
• Sold as individual unit (each)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation cable for residential and light commercial multimedia and structured wiring systems requiring 3-pair, 18 AWG shielded cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage contractor or qualified AV integrator in accordance with applicable NEC low-voltage wiring requirements. De-energize all connected equipment before terminating or splicing cable ends. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, and do not route alongside high-voltage conductors without adequate separation or shielding. Verify the jacket rating meets local code requirements for the intended installation environment before pulling cable.
