Paige Electric 2U18026B1 18/2 Stranded Yellow Plenum Cable
Overview
The Paige Electric 2U18026B1 is a 1000-foot spool of 18 AWG, 2-conductor stranded yellow cable designed for low-voltage communication and control circuits within plenum spaces. Its CMP/FPLP rating ensures compliance with fire safety codes for installation in air-handling plenums, making it suitable for connecting security devices, audio systems, or building automation components where fire resistance is critical. The stranded conductors offer better flexibility and durability compared to solid conductors, simplifying installation in tight runs and reducing the risk of conductor breakage over time.
Compatibility
This 18/2 stranded cable is compatible with a wide range of low-voltage security and control systems requiring plenum-rated cabling. It is suitable for connecting devices such as IP cameras, access control readers, intercom stations, and alarm sensors that utilize 18 AWG conductors for power and data transmission. Verify your specific system's power and signal requirements against the cable's specifications.
Installation Notes
The Paige Electric 2U18026B1 is rated CMP (Communications Multipurpose Plenum) and FPLP (Fire Alarm Cable, Power-Limited, Plenum). This rating mandates installation within air-handling plenums, such as above drop ceilings or below raised floors, where air circulates. Ensure all connections are made using appropriate connectors and termination methods to maintain signal integrity and system reliability. The yellow jacket aids in identification within complex wiring infrastructure.
