Superior Essex AC-A12-68 Access Control Cable 4C Shielded

Product Description

The SUPERIOR ESSEX AC-A12-68 is a 4-conductor access control cable rated Class 3P with an overall foil shield and yellow jacket, sold in a 1000-foot reel. Designed for low-voltage access control and security wiring, this cable carries signal and power between access control panels, readers, locks, and door hardware in commercial and light industrial installations. The Class 3P rating indicates compliance with power-limited circuit requirements. Licensed low-voltage electricians and security systems integrators are the primary installers of this product.

This cable is suited for indoor access control runs in commercial buildings, including door controllers, card readers, electric strikes, maglocks, and request-to-exit devices. The foil shield provides interference rejection in environments with adjacent electrical equipment. The yellow jacket aids in visual identification during rough-in and termination. Typical applications include new construction and retrofit installations where a plenum-rated cable is not required.

Key Features

• 4-conductor construction for multi-function access control wiring
• Overall foil shield with drain wire for EMI and RFI rejection
• Class 3P power-limited circuit rating for compliance with NEC Article 725
• Yellow outer jacket for easy identification in conduit or cable trays
• 1000-foot reel quantity minimizes splices on long commercial runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and new-install option for 4-conductor shielded access control cable applications in low-voltage Class 3P power-limited circuits.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage electrician or security systems integrator in accordance with NEC Article 725 governing Class 2 and Class 3 remote-control and signaling circuits. De-energize the access control panel and lock power supplies before terminating conductors. Maintain minimum bend radius per manufacturer recommendations to avoid compromising the foil shield. Do not run this cable in the same conduit as line-voltage wiring.
