Southwire 21095501 22/12 Riser Cable 500 Ft White

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 21095501 is an unshielded multiconductor riser-rated cable built for low-voltage signal and control wiring in commercial and residential installations. Constructed with 22 AWG stranded bare copper conductors across 12 conductors, it delivers reliable conductivity with minimal voltage drop across long runs. The cable features polypropylene insulation on individual conductors and a PVC outer jacket rated for 300 volts and a temperature range of -20 degrees C to 75 degrees C. A durable rip cord is included for efficient jacket stripping. Countdown length markings printed along the jacket allow installers to track usage and remaining footage without guesswork. This 500-foot pull box format feeds smoothly during installation to reduce tangling and save time on the job.

This cable is suited for fire alarm, security, access control, audio distribution, and general low-voltage control wiring in riser applications. The riser rating qualifies it for vertical runs between floors in commercial and multi-family residential buildings where flame propagation resistance is required by code. Electricians and low-voltage technicians working in new construction or retrofit projects will find the pull box format and length markings practical on busy job sites.

Key Features

• 22 AWG stranded bare copper conductors for low resistance and flexible routing
• 12-conductor configuration supports multi-zone or multi-device wiring from a single cable run
• Riser-rated construction meets flame propagation requirements for vertical building runs
• Polypropylene insulation with PVC jacket for durability and chemical resistance
• Built-in rip cord simplifies jacket stripping and speeds up termination
• Countdown length markings on jacket for accurate usage tracking during pulls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style riser-rated multiconductor cable suitable for low-voltage control, security, fire alarm, and audio wiring applications requiring 22 AWG 12-conductor unshielded cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage technician in accordance with NEC Article 800 and applicable local codes governing riser-rated cables. De-energize all circuits before making terminations. Use the integrated rip cord to strip the jacket cleanly without damaging conductor insulation. Avoid sharp bend radii that could compromise conductor integrity during pulls through conduit or open plenum paths.
