West Penn Wire 227GY0500 Shielded Plenum Cable 500 Ft

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 227GY0500 is a 12 AWG 2-conductor shielded plenum-rated cable supplied in a 500-foot quantity. Built for installation in air-handling spaces, this cable carries a plenum rating that meets the smoke and flame requirements mandated for use in HVAC plenum plenums and open ceiling return-air pathways. The stranded 12 AWG conductors support low-voltage control and signal runs in commercial and light-industrial environments. Shielding reduces electromagnetic interference on sensitive signal circuits. Licensed electricians and low-voltage systems installers are the typical trades that work with this product.

This cable is suited for commercial building automation, fire alarm signaling, access control wiring, and HVAC control circuits routed through plenum air spaces. Its plenum jacket eliminates the need for conduit in many ceiling installations, reducing labor time on large commercial projects. The 500-foot put-up suits medium to large commercial jobs where longer continuous runs are required between panels and field devices.

Key Features

• Plenum-rated jacket meets flame and smoke requirements for air-handling spaces
• 12 AWG conductors support longer signal and control runs with reduced voltage drop
• Shielded construction limits EMI and RFI interference on signal circuits
• 500-foot quantity reduces splice points on large commercial installations
• Suitable for building automation, access control, and HVAC control wiring

Compatibility

Designed as a plenum-rated shielded control cable for use in commercial low-voltage control and signal applications requiring compliance with plenum air-space installation codes.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage systems installer in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 800 or the applicable cable-type article for the system being served. Verify the installation environment qualifies for plenum-rated cable before routing through air-handling spaces. Power down any connected control circuits before terminating conductors. Do not exceed the cable minimum bend radius during pulls to avoid damaging the shield or jacket.
