West Penn Wire 224VT1000 Shielded Cable 18AWG 1000ft

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 224VT1000 is a shielded multimedia cable designed for low-voltage audio, control, and communications wiring applications. It features a single twisted pair of 18 AWG conductors with an overall shield for noise rejection and signal integrity. The cable is supplied in a 1000-foot length with a violet outer jacket, making it easy to identify in multi-cable installations. Licensed low-voltage contractors and AV integrators use this cable for structured wiring in commercial and residential projects where shielded runs are required.

This cable is suited for use in background music systems, intercom wiring, security system cabling, and general low-voltage control circuits. The violet jacket color aids in cable identification when multiple cable types are run together in conduit, cable trays, or wall cavities. At 1000 feet per spool, it covers longer runs typical of commercial installations without mid-run splices.

Key Features

• 18 AWG conductor gauge for low-voltage control and audio signal transmission
• Single twisted pair construction with overall shield for EMI and RFI rejection
• Violet outer jacket for quick visual identification in multi-cable environments
• 1000-foot spool length reduces the need for splices on longer runs
• Multimedia cable classification suitable for a range of AV and control applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use shielded multimedia cable for low-voltage audio, control, and communications wiring systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or electrical contractor in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for the cable type and installation environment. De-energize all connected equipment before terminating conductors. Avoid sharp bends or pinching the cable during pulls, as this can damage the shield and degrade signal performance. Verify local code requirements for plenum or riser ratings before installing in air-handling spaces or vertical shafts.
