Belden 6-18 AWG Security and Sound Cable 7x26 Stranding Bare Copper Conductor - Grey - 1000 Ft

Belden 5304UE Security and Sound Cable is a 6-conductor 18 AWG riser-rated cable designed for security systems, intercom and PA systems, audio and speaker wiring, and power-limited control applications. The Belden 5304UE features 7x26 stranded bare copper conductors with polyolefin 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

Suitable for security systems, intercom/PA, audio/speaker wiring, and power-limited controls, the 5304UE covers a wide range of low-voltage wiring needs in commercial and institutional buildings. Six 18 AWG conductors color-coded Black, Red, White, Green, Brown, and Blue simplify identification and termination across multi-conductor runs, while 7x26 stranding provides the flexibility needed for routing through conduit in riser environments. Rated 300 V (CMR) per NEC Article 800, with a maximum current of 9.8 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 134 lbs (60.8 kg) accommodates standard riser installation practices. The 5304UE complies with UL 1666 Riser, IEEE 1202 FT4, IEC 60332-1-2, CMG (CEC), EU CE Mark, RoHS 2, UKCA Mark, and China RoHS II. The plenum-rated equivalent is the Belden 6304UE. Available in 305 m reel, 500 ft reel, 1,000 ft crate reel, and 1,000 ft UnReel put-up options.
