West Penn Wire 1PR2418PBK0500 Shielded Security Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 1PR2418PBK0500 is a 500-foot reel of 18 AWG, 1-pair stranded shielded security cable designed for low-voltage security and access control wiring applications. The cable features a plenum-rated, shielded construction that supports signal integrity in environments where electromagnetic interference is a concern. This black-jacketed cable ships as a single 500-foot unit and is installed by licensed security, low-voltage, or electrical contractors in commercial and residential settings where code-compliant plenum cabling is required.

This cable is well suited for security system wiring runs in plenum air-handling spaces, including drop ceilings and raised floors in commercial buildings. Its stranded conductor construction allows for flexible routing through conduit and cable trays. The shielded, plenum-rated design makes it appropriate for fire alarm accessory wiring, access control, and intercom signal runs where CMP-rated cable is specified by the engineer of record or required by the local authority having jurisdiction.

Key Features

• 1-pair, 18 AWG stranded conductors for flexible low-voltage signal runs
• Overall shield for reduced electromagnetic and radio frequency interference
• Plenum (CMP) jacket rating suitable for air-handling spaces without conduit
• Black outer jacket for standard identification in security installations
• 500-foot continuous reel minimizes splice points on longer runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation cable for 1-pair 18 AWG stranded shielded plenum security wiring applications in low-voltage security, access control, and intercom systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or electrical contractor in accordance with NEC Article 725 and applicable local codes governing CMP-rated cable. De-energize and verify zero voltage on all circuits before terminating conductors. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius to prevent damage to the shield and insulation. Do not exceed the cable pulling tension rating when routing through conduit or cable trays.
