Southwire P40065-1A 18 Awg 6C Plenum Cable 300V 1000 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE P40065-1A is a Type CMP/CL3P multi-conductor unshielded plenum cable rated for 300 VAC service. Part of the 31UP series, it features six 18 AWG bare stranded copper conductors, each constructed with 7 strands for flexibility and reliable signal integrity. The outer diameter measures 0.23 inches, and the white LS-PVC jacket and LS-PVC insulation are formulated for low-smoke performance in air-handling plenum spaces. This cable is installed by licensed electricians and low-voltage systems technicians in commercial and light commercial buildings where NEC plenum ratings are required.

This cable is suited for remote control, signaling, and power-limited circuit applications including security systems, intercom, public address, sound reinforcement, alarm systems, access control circuits, and speaker wiring. The 1000-foot reel length is appropriate for large commercial installations where continuous runs are needed across ceiling plenum spaces. Its unshielded construction keeps the profile slim while meeting the electrical and fire performance requirements for open-air plenum environments.

Key Features

• Type CMP/CL3P dual rating satisfies NEC Article 800 and NEC Article 725 requirements for plenum and power-limited signaling applications
• Six 18 AWG bare stranded copper conductors with 7 strands each for flexibility during routing
• LS-PVC insulation and jacket provide low-smoke, low-flame characteristics required in air-handling spaces
• Includes ripcord for clean, fast jacket removal during termination
• NFPA 262 flame and smoke tested; UL Listed to UL 13 (CL3P) and UL 444 (CMP) for eligible sizes
• ARRA Compliant and Buy American Act Compliant for federally funded projects
• RoHS Compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed for use in remote control, signaling, power-limited, security, alarm, access control, intercom, public address, and sound reinforcement systems installed in plenum-rated air-handling spaces per NEC Article 725 and NEC Article 800.

Installation Notes

This cable is installed by licensed electricians or low-voltage systems technicians working in commercial environments. De-energize all circuits before making connections and verify the installation space qualifies as a plenum air-handling environment as defined by the NEC before pulling this cable. Route and secure per NEC Article 725 and Article 800 as applicable to the circuit type. Use the included ripcord to strip the jacket cleanly without nicking conductor insulation.
