Belden Inc. 98860101000 6 Pair Shielded Multimedia Cable

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. 98860101000 is a 6 shielded pair multimedia cable constructed with 20 AWG conductors, polypropylene (PP) insulation, and a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) jacket. This cable is designed for low-voltage signal and data transmission in applications where individual pair shielding is required to minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk. It is sold as a single unit (EA) and is intended for installation by licensed low-voltage technicians and electricians working in structured wiring, control, or communications environments.

This cable is suited for residential and commercial installations where multiple independent signal pairs must be routed within a single cable run. Common applications include audio-visual distribution, building automation control wiring, intercom systems, and security or access control signal runs. The 6-pair configuration allows multiple circuits to be consolidated into one cable pathway, reducing conduit fill and simplifying termination at panel and device endpoints.

Key Features

• 6 individually shielded pairs for per-pair EMI and crosstalk isolation
• 20 AWG conductors sized for low-voltage signal and control applications
• Polypropylene (PP) insulation for thermal stability and dielectric performance
• HDPE outer jacket provides moisture resistance and mechanical protection
• Single-unit (EA) packaging for flexible quantity ordering

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard-install multimedia cable suitable for low-voltage signal, control, and communications wiring applications requiring shielded multi-pair construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or low-voltage technician in accordance with NEC Article 800 or the applicable local code for communications and multimedia cable. De-energize all circuits and control panels before terminating or splicing. Maintain minimum bend radius during routing to preserve shield integrity and conductor geometry. Avoid bundling signal cable tightly with power conductors to prevent inductive interference.
