About BELDEN 5302FE
Security & Sound, #18-4c, BC, Shielded, CM
Security & Sound Cable, Riser-CMR, 4-18 AWG stranded bare copper conductors with polypropylene insulation, Beldfoil shield and PVC jacket with ripcord
Superior Plenum Safety and LSZH ComplianceBELDEN 5302FE is meticulously engineered to meet UL 910 Plenum flame test standards, ensuring it is safe for use in plenum spaces. The low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) characteristics make it particularly suitable for environments prioritizing safety and air quality, such as offices, hospitals, and schools.
Robust Construction and FlexibilityThis cable combines a solid bare copper conductor with FEP insulation and a PVC outer jacket, delivering excellent electrical properties, flexibility, and fire resistance. The 100% aluminum-polyester tape shielding protects against electromagnetic interference, supporting reliable signal transmission for critical applications.
Effortless Installation and HandlingDesigned with installers in mind, the BELDEN 5302FE includes an integrated ripcord under the jacket for fast, clean stripping. The cable's high flexibility, minimum bend radius, and convenient 305-meter reel packaging streamline large-scale installations across indoor plenum-rated locations.
FAQ's of BELDEN 5302FE:
Q: How should the BELDEN 5302FE cable be installed in plenum-rated spaces?
A: The BELDEN 5302FE is approved for use in plenum spaces and should be installed according to local building codes and standards. Its high flexibility and built-in ripcord help facilitate easy routing and stripping during installation, making it ideal for HVAC plenums and areas requiring fire-resistant cabling.
Q: What applications is the BELDEN 5302FE most suitable for?
A: This cable is ideal for low voltage power, security systems, audio distribution, and communication networks, especially in environments with stringent fire safety requirements such as office buildings, hospitals, and educational institutions.
Q: When does the plenum-rated feature benefit my installation?
