Belden Inc. HISB0020218PC OS2 Fiber Hybrid Cable Cmp

Product Description

The BELDEN INC. HISB0020218PC is a hybrid optical and copper cable combining OS2 single-mode fiber with 18 AWG copper conductors in a single plenum-rated jacket. The cable integrates 2 OS2 single-mode fibers alongside 2 copper conductors rated at 18 AWG, making it well suited for applications that require both high-bandwidth data transmission and low-voltage power or control signaling in the same cable run. The CMP plenum rating qualifies this cable for installation in air-handling spaces and plenum ceilings without the need for conduit in many jurisdictions. Licensed electricians and low-voltage cabling technicians are the primary installers.

This hybrid cable is designed for structured cabling projects in commercial and institutional buildings where a single cable pathway must support both fiber-based network connectivity and copper-based control or power functions. Typical applications include IP surveillance systems, access control infrastructure, and similar installations where co-running separate fiber and copper cables is impractical. The OS2 single-mode fiber designation supports long-distance, high-bandwidth links, while the copper pair handles ancillary signaling or limited power delivery.

Key Features

• OS2 single-mode fiber construction supports long-distance, high-bandwidth transmission
• Integrated 2-conductor 18 AWG copper allows simultaneous data and control or low-voltage power in one cable
• CMP plenum rating meets requirements for installation in air-handling plenum spaces
• Hybrid design reduces conduit fill and simplifies cable management in commercial installations
• Single unit (EA) packaging with a quantity of 1 per unit

Compatibility

Designed for commercial structured cabling environments requiring a combined OS2 single-mode fiber and 18 AWG copper hybrid cable with CMP plenum listing. No specific compatible model numbers or system families were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage cabling technician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC), particularly Article 770 for optical fiber cables and Article 800 for communications cables. De-energize all connected equipment before terminating copper conductors. Observe the cable minimum bend radius during pulls to avoid damaging the fiber strands. Plenum-rated cable must be installed in the correct environmental air space to maintain code compliance.
