Carol E2206S.41.86 Plenum Cable

This Carol E2206S.41.86 is a plenum-rated communication cable supplied on a 1000 ft reel in a box. It contains six stranded 18 AWG conductors with PVC insulation and a grey PVC jacket. A Flexfoil polyester-supported aluminum foil shield wraps the bundle for noise rejection. The cable carries a 300 V maximum voltage rating.

Suits Installers Needing Shielded Plenum Wire

The construction meets fire-safety requirements for plenum spaces in commercial buildings. Audio, communications and alarm system contractors can pull it through air-handling areas without conduit. Installers who need unshielded cable, a different conductor count or a non-plenum rating should select another product. Outdoor or direct-burial applications are not supported by this jacket.

Reel-in-Box Simplifies Pulls

The reel-in-box packaging lets the cable feed straight out without tangling on long runs. Stranded conductors and the 0.2 in outside diameter make bending around corners straightforward. The foil shield must be bonded to ground at one end only to avoid ground loops. Stripping the thin PVC insulation requires a calibrated stripper to avoid nicking the 18 AWG strands.

Questions about this item

What termination tools or connectors do I need for the 18 AWG stranded conductors?

You will need crimp terminals, screw terminals or solder suited to 18 AWG stranded wire; the Flexfoil shield also requires a drain-wire connection to ground.

Can I run this plenum cable in the same tray as older 300 V unshielded alarm wiring?

Yes, the Flexfoil shielding reduces crosstalk, so it can share a pathway with legacy 300 V unshielded circuits while maintaining signal integrity.

How do I verify the cable meets plenum fire rating after installation?

Check that the jacket is marked with a plenum rating (e.g., CMP or CL3P) and that the gray PVC jacket and 0.2 in outside diameter match the printed legend on the reel.
