Southwire P20270-1D 22 Awg 4 Wire Shielded Comm Cable

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE P20270-1D is a 22 AWG, 4-conductor shielded communication cable designed for automation and low-voltage control wiring applications. It features bare copper conductors with PVC insulation and an overall outside diameter of 0.157 inches. The shield construction reduces electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for signal-sensitive runs in building automation systems, HVAC controls, and similar instrumentation environments. Licensed electricians and automation technicians install this cable in control panels, thermostat wiring, and BAS network loops. It is sold and cut in 1-foot increments with a minimum cut length of 100 feet.

This cable is used in residential and commercial settings where reliable low-voltage communication wiring is required. Typical applications include HVAC building automation systems, access control, and general instrumentation signal wiring. It is rated for a minimum operating temperature of -4 degrees F and a maximum operating temperature of 167 degrees F, making it suitable for both indoor mechanical rooms and moderate-temperature environments. The total coil length is 500 feet, and orders are fulfilled in 1-foot increments starting at a 100-foot minimum.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified automation technician in accordance with the NEC and applicable local codes. De-energize all associated control circuits before terminating or splicing the cable. Avoid running low-voltage communication cable in the same conduit as line-voltage conductors, as this can introduce noise on the signal pairs. Verify shield termination and grounding practices match the requirements of the connected control system.
