Advanced Digital Cable 911804 18/4 Plenum Security Alarm Cable

Product Description

The Advanced Digital Cable 911804 is an 18/4 stranded bare copper security and alarm cable rated for plenum air-handling spaces. Each of the four conductors is 18 AWG with 7 strands, giving the cable flexibility for routing through walls, ceilings, and plenum return-air plenums without the need for conduit in most jurisdictions. The outer diameter measures 0.186 inches. The jacket and insulation are both low smoke PVC, and the cable carries a 300-volt rating with a 75 degrees F temperature rating of 75 degrees C. Licensed alarm installers and low-voltage electricians are the primary installers of this product.

This cable is suited for residential and commercial security system wiring, fire alarm auxiliary circuits, access control wiring, and general low-voltage alarm signaling applications. Its plenum rating makes it an appropriate choice for installations in HVAC air-handling spaces where building codes require CMP-rated or plenum-rated cable. The unshielded design keeps termination simple in point-to-point security and alarm runs where EMI shielding is not required by the system design or code authority.

Key Features

• Plenum rated jacket and insulation for use in air-handling spaces without conduit where permitted
• 18 AWG 4-conductor configuration with 7-strand bare copper for flexibility and conductivity
• Low smoke PVC jacket and insulation reduces smoke output in the event of fire exposure
• 300-volt rating suitable for standard low-voltage security and alarm signaling circuits
• Unshielded construction simplifies termination on compatible alarm and access control panels
• White jacket for clean appearance in finished residential and commercial spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a plenum-rated 18/4 security and alarm cable for use with standard low-voltage security panels, access control systems, and alarm signaling devices that accept 18 AWG 4-conductor input wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage electrician or alarm systems contractor in accordance with applicable local codes and NFPA 72 requirements. De-energize all circuits before making terminations at panels or devices. Verify that the plenum rating of this cable meets the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction before installation in air-handling spaces. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that can damage the conductor strands during pull-through.
