2-Conductor, 16 AWG, Shielded, PVC, CMR (Riser) / FPLR Rated, Red Multi-Conductor Cable – 5200FE 0021000

The Belden 5200FE 0021000 is a professional-grade 2-Conductor, 16 AWG, Shielded, PVC, CMR/FPLR Rated Multi-Conductor Cable specifically finished with a Red jacket. This color is the industry standard for fire alarm systems, emergency communications, and life-safety circuits.
This high-reliability cable is engineered for critical signal transmission in fire protective signaling and emergency communication systems. It is constructed with two 16 AWG stranded bare copper conductors, utilizing a 19×29 stranding pattern that ensures high electrical conductivity while remaining flexible enough for easy routing through building conduits and vertical shafts.
