Partial Box of Cable | The Cable Company #5044C13CMP1000 | 18 AWG, 4C | 542 Feet

Condition: Partial box containing 542 feet of cable, per markings. Original box is included.

This The Cable Company #5044C13CMP1000 cable is a 4-conductor (4C), 18 AWG plenum-rated cable designed for commercial and residential low-voltage wiring. Featuring CMP (Plenum) certification, it is suitable for installation in air-handling spaces such as HVAC plenums. The absence of overall shielding (O/A Shield: No) makes it lighter and more flexible for general-purpose applications.

Key Specifications:

• Model Number: #5044C13CMP1000
• Conductor Size: 18 AWG
• Conductor Type: 7-strand copper
• Number of Conductors: 4 (4C)
• Shielding: Unshielded (No O/A Shield)
• Plenum Rating: CMP (Plenum-rated for air-handling spaces, UL-listed)
• Fire Rating: FT-6 (Canada-rated for plenum use)
• RoHS Compliant: Yes
• Cable Markings:
  • ROHS FT-6
  • #0542 FT (indicates footage remaining: 542 feet)
  • 800-677-WIRE E171197-01 18 AWG 4C (UL) CMP
• Weight: ~18 lbs (partial box)

Key Features:

• Plenum-Rated: CMP rating ensures compliance with building codes for use in air-handling spaces like HVAC plenums and ducts.
• Flexible Design: The unshielded, 4-conductor configuration is easy to install and manage in tight spaces.
• Stranded Conductors: Provides flexibility and durability, ideal for installations requiring frequent movement or bending.
• Fire-Resistant: Certified for FT-6 flame resistance, suitable for plenum installations in Canada.

Applications:

1. HVAC Systems: Control wiring in air-handling spaces, thermostats, and dampers.
2. Security Systems: Ideal for low-voltage wiring in alarm systems, access control, or intercoms.
3. Audio/Visual Systems: Used for low-power A/V connections in offices, classrooms, or homes.
4. Building Automation: Perfect for sensor wiring and control panel integration.
5. General Low-Voltage Wiring: Suitable for power-limited circuits such as lighting controls or data signal transmission.

Pros:

• Code Compliance: CMP and FT-6 ratings ensure safety for plenum use.
• Lightweight and Flexible: Easy to handle and route in installations.
• Sufficient Length: At 542 feet, this partial box still provides ample material for most small- to medium-scale projects.
• RoHS Certified: Environmentally friendly and free of hazardous materials.

Cons:

• No Shielding: Not suitable for applications requiring EMI protection.
• Partial Box: Reduced length (542 feet) compared to a full box, which may limit its usability for larger projects.
