BELDEN 5304FE, 18 AWG 4-CORE SHIELDED PLENUM CABLE

BELDEN 5304FE, 18 AWG 4-CONDUCTOR SHIELDED PLENUM CABLE is a high-performance, fire-retardant cabling solution tailored for demanding commercial security and control systems. Featuring robust 18 AWG conductors and a plenum-rated jacket, it provides the necessary power handling and safety compliance required for critical infrastructure in air-handling environments.

Product Description

Built to meet the rigorous demands of professional installations, the 5304FE utilizes four 18 AWG stranded bare copper conductors. This heavier gauge is essential for minimizing voltage drop, ensuring that power-intensive devices—such as magnetic locks, card access systems, and high-load sensors—receive consistent, reliable current even over extended cable runs.

The cable is Plenum (CMP) rated, manufactured with specialized materials that meet stringent NFPA standards for low smoke and flame spread. This allows for safe, direct installation in plenum spaces (such as drop ceilings and raised floors) without the need for additional protective metal conduit. To maintain signal purity and prevent data errors caused by external electromagnetic interference (EMI), the 5304FE is shielded with a Beldfoil® aluminum foil-polyester tape. This high-coverage shield provides an effective barrier against electrical noise, ensuring stable communication between control panels and peripheral hardware.
