Advanced Digital Cable 18/2 Plenum Security Alarm Cable

Product Description

The ADVANCED DIGITAL CABLE 18/2 is a stranded, unshielded, plenum-rated security alarm cable designed for low-voltage signal and control wiring in fire alarm, security, and access control systems. The 18 AWG stranded conductors provide flexibility during installation, and the plenum jacket meets the requirements for air-handling spaces without the need for conduit in many installations. This cable is installed by licensed electricians, alarm technicians, and security system integrators working in commercial and residential environments.

The 18/2 is suited for use in plenum spaces such as drop ceilings and raised floors where building and fire codes restrict the use of non-plenum cable. Typical applications include running signal circuits between control panels, sensors, detectors, and annunciators. The two-conductor configuration handles standard two-wire alarm loops and low-voltage control runs.

Key Features

• Plenum-rated jacket approved for air-handling spaces without conduit in applicable installations
• 18 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility and ease of routing through tight spaces
• Unshielded construction keeps installation straightforward where EMI rejection is not required
• Two-conductor configuration suitable for standard alarm and security signal loops
• Low-voltage rating appropriate for fire alarm, security, and access control wiring

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock cable for residential and commercial low-voltage security alarm, fire alarm, and access control wiring systems requiring an 18 AWG 2-conductor plenum-rated cable.

Installation Notes

This cable should be installed by a licensed electrician or certified alarm technician in accordance with NFPA 72, NFPA 90A, and applicable local codes governing plenum-rated wiring. De-energize all circuits and panels before making connections. Verify that the plenum rating of the cable matches the requirements of the specific air-handling space before pulling the run.
