West Penn Wire 225OR1000 Shielded Cable 16 Awg 1000 Ft

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 225OR1000 is a shielded multimedia cable designed for low-voltage signal and audio distribution applications. Constructed with a single pair of 16 AWG unshielded conductors wrapped in a foil or braid shield and an orange outer jacket, this cable ships in a 1000-foot spool. The shield layer reduces electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, making it a reliable choice for runs in commercial AV, intercom, security, or structured wiring installations where signal integrity matters. Installers working in multimedia or low-voltage systems will find the orange jacket useful for color-coded identification in conduit or cable trays.

This cable is suited for multimedia distribution systems in residential and commercial environments. Common applications include background audio, intercom wiring, access control, and other low-voltage signal runs where a shielded pair is required. The 1000-foot continuous spool length supports long home-run runs without mid-run splices, reducing signal loss and installation complexity. The orange jacket aids in quick visual identification during rough-in and future service calls.

Key Features

• 1 pair, 16 AWG unshielded conductors with overall shield for interference rejection
• 1000-foot spool — supports long, continuous runs without splicing
• Orange PVC outer jacket for easy cable identification in multi-cable installations
• Suited for multimedia, audio, intercom, and low-voltage signal applications
• Shield layer reduces EMI and RFI interference along signal runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-duty cable for low-voltage multimedia and audio distribution systems requiring a shielded single-pair 16 AWG conductor configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or electrical contractor in accordance with applicable NEC Article 725 or 800 requirements for signaling and communication cable. De-energize all connected equipment before terminating conductors. Avoid routing this cable in close parallel runs with line-voltage wiring to minimize induced interference even with shielding present. Follow local code for conduit fill, bend radius, and penetration firestopping where required.
