Southwire 962044609 4 Conductor Telephone Wire 24 Awg

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 962044609 is a 4-conductor, 24 AWG telephone wire designed for low-voltage voice and data communication installations. The wire features solid copper conductors and a durable PVC jacket available in beige, gray, and white. Sold in a 1,000-foot spool, this cable meets a broad set of industry standards including ETL Listed Type CMR rating, UL 444, and EIA-568-A compliance. It is suited for structured wiring runs in walls, ceilings, and riser applications where a riser-rated cable is required. Licensed electricians and low-voltage communication technicians are the typical installers.

This telephone wire is commonly used in residential and light commercial settings for voice-grade telephone distribution, intercom rough-in, and similar low-voltage communication wiring. The CMR riser rating makes it appropriate for vertical runs between floors. The 1,000-foot spool length suits larger rough-in projects or service vehicles stocking bulk wire. The PVC jacket is available in beige, gray, and white to accommodate different installation environments and local labeling practices.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-purpose telephone wire for 4-conductor, 24 AWG low-voltage voice communication wiring applications in residential and light commercial systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or certified low-voltage communication technician in accordance with NEC Article 800 requirements for communication circuits. De-energize all related circuits before terminating or splicing. The CMR riser rating permits use in vertical shaft runs between floors but does not qualify as plenum-rated; verify local code requirements before installing in air-handling spaces. Do not exceed the minimum bend radius of the cable during routing to avoid conductor damage.
