Conn-air W223C-2561ORRB Plenum Shielded Cable 22AWG 3C

Product Description

The CONN-AIR W223C-2561ORRB is a plenum-rated, shielded control cable designed for low-voltage signal and control wiring in commercial and institutional HVAC and building automation applications. Built with a 22 AWG, 3-conductor configuration and an orange outer jacket, this cable is intended for in-wall and above-ceiling installations where plenum air-handling spaces require fire-retardant cable construction per fire code. The shielded design reduces electromagnetic interference, protecting signal integrity in environments with multiple electrical runs. Each box contains 1000 feet of continuous cable, suitable for large projects or multi-zone control wiring runs.

This cable is used in plenum ceiling spaces and air-handling return pathways where standard non-plenum cable is not permitted by code. Typical applications include thermostat wiring, zone controller connections, building automation sensor loops, and other low-voltage control circuits in commercial HVAC systems. The 3-conductor layout supports common control signal configurations. The orange jacket aids in visual identification and cable tracing during installation and future service work.

Key Features

• Plenum-rated construction meets fire code requirements for use in air-handling ceiling and wall spaces
• Shielded cable reduces EMI and signal noise on low-voltage control runs
• 22 AWG, 3-conductor layout suits standard thermostat and zone control wiring configurations
• Orange outer jacket provides easy visual identification in multi-cable installations
• 1000-foot box quantity supports large commercial jobs and multi-zone installations

Compatibility

Designed for use in low-voltage control wiring applications requiring plenum-rated, shielded cable, including HVAC zone controllers, building automation systems, and thermostat circuits in commercial environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified HVAC controls technician in accordance with NFPA 90A and applicable local codes governing plenum cable use. De-energize all control circuits before making or breaking connections. Maintain minimum bend radius and avoid sharp edges when routing through plenum spaces to preserve shield integrity. Verify that all conduit, supports, and terminations meet local building and fire codes before closing up the ceiling or wall cavity.
