- Use For: Data, Interference Shielding
- Flexible
- Temperature Range: 0° to 165° F
- Insulation: PVC Plastic
Use this cable for complex data and signal transmission, such as in high-speed computers. It has braid and foil shielding that provides excellent protection against signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. The industry designation is CM and CMG, so it’s approved for in-wall installation and has flame-resistant insulation. It has an uninsulated ground wire that is not counted in the number of wires.

- Use For: Data, Interference Shielding
- Flexible
- Temperature Range: 0° to 165° F
- Insulation: PVC Plastic
This cable has twisted pairs of wires that cancel signal interference from multiple transmission lines, as well as foil and braid shielding over the entire cable. It's often used to transmit data in high speed computers near variable-frequency drive motors, where voltage fluctuations and current spikes can distort signals. The industry designation is CM and CMG, so it’s approved for in-wall installation and has flame-resistant insulation. The uninsulated ground wire is not counted in the number of wires.

Communication and Security System Cable
Often used for intercoms, speakers, and security systems, this cable is designated as CM and CL2 or CMG, so the insulation is flame resistant and approved for in-wall installation in single-level facilities.
Shielded cable has a layer of foil that blocks signal interference from nearby equipment and devices. It has an uninsulated ground wire is not counted in the number of wires.
