Carol E2042S.30.10 Shielded Riser Cable

The Carol E2042S.30.10 is a 1000 ft shielded riser communication cable built with 16 AWG stranded conductors. It serves installers running audio, communications or alarm circuits in vertical building shafts. The overall Flexfoil polyester supported aluminum foil shield protects signal integrity in electrically noisy environments.

Thermals Noise And Power Draw

As a passive low voltage cable it produces no heat, emits no noise and draws no power during operation. The S-R PVC insulation and PVC jacket are rated for a maximum voltage of 300 V and carry a riser fire rating for code compliant vertical runs. Normal use adds no thermal load to the pathway.

Upgrade Context

This cable replaces non shielded or lower fire rated wire where vertical routing and EMI protection are required. The jump is worth it when building codes demand a riser rating or when nearby electrical equipment induces interference on unshielded pairs. It is not suited for plenum spaces or direct burial applications.

Questions about this item

How do I pull the 1000 ft shielded riser cable through conduit without damaging the Flexfoil shield?

Pull from the centre of the pulling pack using a fish tape with a smooth eye, keeping the bend radius wide enough that the overall foil shield does not crease or tear.

Will the S-R PVC jacket or the aluminum foil shield need replacement after years in a riser shaft?

The S-R PVC jacket and overall Flexfoil shield are rated for the 300 V riser application; no scheduled replacement is required unless physical damage or moisture ingress occurs.

At what point does the 16 AWG stranded conductor hit its voltage limit on a long audio run?

The cable carries a maximum voltage rating of 300 V, so sustained use must stay below that level regardless of the 1000 ft length.
