West Penn Wire 226GY1000 14 Awg Security Cable 1 Pair

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 226GY1000 is a 14 AWG stranded, unshielded security cable with a PVC jacket, sold in a 1-pair configuration. Designed for low-voltage security and alarm wiring applications, this cable delivers reliable signal transmission in installations where shielding is not required. The stranded conductor construction provides flexibility during routing and termination, making it a practical choice for runs through conduit, cable trays, or open plenum spaces. Licensed security and alarm technicians typically specify this cable for zone wiring, sensor connections, and control panel runs in residential and light commercial systems.

This cable is suited for security system installations including intrusion detection, door and window contacts, motion sensors, and other low-voltage signaling circuits. The PVC jacket provides abrasion resistance and is compatible with standard cable management and pull-through installations. It is appropriate for use in dry and damp interior environments where an unshielded conductor meets the system design requirements.

Key Features

• 14 AWG stranded conductor for flexibility and ease of termination
• Unshielded design suitable for environments with low electromagnetic interference
• PVC jacket provides abrasion and moisture resistance for interior runs
• 1-pair configuration for straightforward zone and sensor wiring
• Sold per 1000-foot reel for full security system installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-specification cable for low-voltage security and alarm wiring systems requiring 14 AWG stranded unshielded conductors with a PVC jacket.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed security or low-voltage electrician in accordance with NEC Article 725 and applicable local codes. Power down all connected control panels and devices before making terminations. Avoid running low-voltage signal cable in the same conduit as line-voltage wiring to prevent interference. Follow the system manufacturer's minimum bend radius and pulling tension guidelines to avoid damaging conductors during installation.
