Applications:

This multipurpose cable is designed for a wide range of low-voltage audio, communication, and alarm applications including intercom systems, security and surveillance networks, distributed audio systems, background music installations, public address systems, fire alarm circuits, and general sound reinforcement. The dual rating (CL3/FPL) makes it suitable for both plenum-equivalent and general-purpose installations.

Construction Details:

The AQC295L PR features color-coded insulation (black and red) for easy conductor identification. The aluminum polyester foil provides 100% shield coverage with a dedicated tinned copper drain wire for reliable grounding. The Aquaseal water-blocking tape system creates a moisture barrier that protects the conductors from water damage, making this cable ideal for direct burial, outdoor aerial runs, and installations in damp locations.
