Reliable Data Transmission for Building InfrastructureThe BELDEN 5504FE delivers high-performance signal integrity across extended runs, meeting the requirements for building automation, LAN, and security systems. Its advanced shielding significantly reduces electromagnetic interference, making it a preferred solution for environments with high data sensitivity. The cable also supports audio and video installations, adapting flexibly to multiple building applications.
Exceptional Durability and Fire SafetyEngineered for durability, the 5504FE cable uses quality materials including a flame-retardant PVC jacket and foam HDPE insulation. Its riser-rated (CMR) construction complies with UL 1666 standards, ensuring safe installation in vertical shafts. The cable withstands a wide temperature range, making it suitable for different indoor conditions while maintaining reliable performance.
FAQ's of BELDEN 5504FE:
Q: How does the BELDEN 5504FE's overall foil shield benefit data transmission?
A: The overall aluminum foil shield with drain wire minimizes electromagnetic and radio frequency interference, maintaining signal clarity and ensuring reliable data transmission over long distances.
Q: What applications is the BELDEN 5504FE most suitable for?
A: This cable is designed for building automation, LAN, security, low voltage controls, and audio/video installations, making it ideal for both data-intensive and control applications in indoor environments.
Q: When should I choose a CMR-rated cable like the BELDEN 5504FE?
A: Choose CMR-rated cables for vertical riser applications-such as running cables between floors-where enhanced flame retardance is required by building codes to prevent fire from spreading within walls.
Q: Where can the BELDEN 5504FE be installed?
A: This cable is intended for indoor use, particularly in commercial and institutional buildings, and is suited for installation in riser spaces between floors due to its CMR rating.
Q: What process should I follow to install the BELDEN 5504FE?
A: Install the cable in accordance with standard practices for shielded twisted pair cabling, ensuring that the drain wire is properly grounded to maximize shielding effectiveness and performance.
Q: What is the advantage of using foam HDPE insulation in the BELDEN 5504FE?
A: Foam HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) insulation delivers low capacitance and consistent impedance, which helps to preserve signal quality and supports high-speed data transmission.
Q: How does BELDEN 5504FE ensure safety and compliance?
A: The cable meets UL 1666 protocols for flame safety, is RoHS compliant, and is manufactured with high-grade, non-toxic materials, ensuring both regulatory compliance and user safety.
