West Penn Wire 225GY1000 16AWG 1pr Unshielded Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 225GY1000 is a 16 AWG, 1-pair stranded unshielded security cable with a PVC jacket, supplied in a 1000-foot quantity. This cable is designed for low-voltage signal transmission in security and alarm systems where shielding is not required. The stranded conductor construction improves flexibility during routing and termination. The PVC jacket provides basic protection against abrasion and moisture in typical indoor environments. Licensed security installers and low-voltage technicians are the primary installers of this cable type.

This cable is suited for residential and light commercial security installations including burglar alarm panels, door and window contact wiring, motion detector runs, and access control signal circuits. The 16 AWG gauge supports longer runs where resistance must be kept low. The unshielded construction is appropriate for environments with minimal electromagnetic interference. The 1000-foot reel length reduces the need for mid-run splices on larger projects.

Key Features

• 16 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility and ease of termination
• 1-pair configuration for straightforward point-to-point signal runs
• Unshielded design suited for low-EMI security and alarm applications
• PVC jacket for abrasion resistance and standard indoor protection
• 1000-foot reel minimizes splices on extended cable runs

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose low-voltage security cable for use with alarm panels, access control systems, and detection devices requiring 1-pair 16 AWG unshielded wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security technician in accordance with applicable local codes and NEC Article 725 requirements for Class 2 or Class 3 circuits. De-energize the panel and connected devices before making any terminations. Avoid running this cable in parallel with high-voltage power conductors to minimize induced noise. Secure cable at regular intervals per code and avoid sharp bends that could damage the PVC jacket or deform the conductors.
