Belden 3-22 AWG Security and Sound Cable 7x30 Stranding Bare Copper Conductor - Grey - 1000 Ft

Belden 5501UE 3-22 AWG Security and Sound Cable 7x30 Stranding Bare Copper Conductor is a 3-conductor 22 AWG riser-rated cable designed for security systems, intercom and PA systems, sound and audio systems, power-limited controls, and single line telephone applications. The Belden 5501UE features 7x30 stranded bare copper conductors with polypropylene insulation and a PVC outer jacket with integrated ripcord, meeting CMR requirements for indoor riser environments and complying with a broad range of North American and international standards.

Reliable Performance Across Security and Audio Applications

The 5501UE covers a wide range of low-voltage wiring needs in commercial and institutional buildings. Three 22 AWG conductors color-coded Black, Red, and White simplify identification and termination, while 7x30 stranding provides the flexibility needed for routing through conduit in riser environments. Unshielded construction keeps the cable compact at 0.13 in overall diameter, making it well suited for high-density installations and tight conduit fills. Rated 300 V (CMR) per NEC Article 800, with a maximum current of 2.8 A per conductor at 25°C and an operating range of -20°C to +75°C.

Rugged Construction and Broad Compliance

An integrated ripcord allows for fast, clean jacket removal at termination points, and a maximum pull tension of 27.3 lbs (12.4 kg) accommodates standard riser installation practices. The 5501UE complies with UL 1666 Riser, FT4, CMG (CEC), EU CE Mark, RoHS 2, WEEE, UKCA Mark, and China RoHS II. The plenum-rated equivalent is the Belden 6501UE.
