18 AWG 5C Bare Copper Unshielded Plenum PVC 150V Low Voltage Power-Limited Circuit Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 18 AWG 5C Bare Copper Unshielded Plenum PVC 150V Low Voltage Power-Limited Circuit Cable: 100 Amps

About:

This cable is designed for low voltage, power-limited applications. Featuring 18-gauge bare copper conductors, it's unshielded and housed within a plenum-rated polyvinyl chloride (PVC) jacket. This construction makes it suitable for use in spaces requiring high standards for fire resistance and low smoke production.

Also Known As:

• 18 AWG 5-Conductor Plenum Cable
• Unshielded Power-Limited Circuit Plenum Cable
• 150V Low Voltage Plenum Cable

Application:

• Fire and security alarm systems
• HVAC control wiring
• Smoke detectors
• Voice communications
• Intercom systems
• Any other low-voltage, power-limited applications where cable is routed through plenum spaces

Standards:

• NFPA 70: This cable complies with the National Electrical Code (NEC) for safe electrical design and installation.
• UL 910: It meets the standards for flame and smoke characteristics in air-handling spaces.
• UL Listed CMP: Ensures the cable is suitable for use in plenum spaces with stricter fire-safety requirements.

Construction:

• Conductors: Made from solid or stranded bare copper, providing effective electrical connectivity and signal integrity.
• Insulation: Features fire-resistant and low-smoke polyvinyl chloride (PVC), specifically designed for plenum usage.
• Jacket: The outer jacket is also made from fire-resistant and low-smoke PVC, aligning with safety standards for plenum cables.
• Unshielded: This design approach reduces material costs and makes the cable easier to handle and install, although it may be more susceptible to electromagnetic interference than shielded cables.

Features:

• Voltage Rating: It has a voltage rating of 150V, appropriate for low-voltage power-limited applications.
• Fire and Smoke Compliance: The plenum rating ensures that the cable can retard flame propagation and emit low smoke levels in case of a fire, crucial for safety in air-handling spaces.
• Flexibility: Despite its safety features, the cable remains flexible enough for easy installation and routing through tight spaces.
• Durability: The construction materials ensure durability and longevity, even in challenging environments.

Specifications:

• AWG: 18
• Number of Conductors: 5
• Nominal O.D.: .215
• Weight (Lbs/Mft): 37
• Part Number: 175185B
