George Risk Industries Inc. 4460A-36 Armored Cable Switch

Product Description

The GEORGE RISK INDUSTRIES INC. 4460A-36 is an armored cable switch designed for use in security, access control, and low-voltage sensing applications. The unit ships as a single assembly with 36 inches of flexible armored cable pre-attached, protecting the lead wires from physical damage in demanding installation environments. Licensed electricians and security system technicians install this type of contact switch where standard unprotected wiring is not sufficient for the routing path or exposure conditions.

This switch is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a protected wiring run is required between the contact point and the control panel or terminal block. The armored cable construction makes it a practical choice for installations in conduit-free zones, exposed junction areas, or locations subject to abrasion. The 36-inch cable length provides adequate reach for most door, window, and access panel mounting scenarios.

Key Features

• 36 inches of flexible armored cable pre-attached for protected wire routing
• Armored construction resists abrasion and mechanical damage to lead wires
• Single-unit assembly simplifies installation and reduces field termination steps
• Designed for low-voltage security and contact sensing circuits
• Sold individually as a single assembly

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install contact switch for low-voltage security and access control panel wiring applications where armored cable lead protection is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or alarm system technician in accordance with applicable NEC guidelines for low-voltage wiring. De-energize the circuit and verify the panel is powered down before making any terminal connections. Secure the armored cable along its run to prevent stress at the termination points and avoid sharp bends that could compromise the cable armor or internal conductors.
