West Penn Wire 242GY1000 4C 20AWG Unshielded Pvc Audio Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 242GY1000 is a 4-conductor, 20 AWG stranded unshielded audio cable with a PVC jacket, supplied in a 1000-foot reel. Designed for low-voltage audio distribution, this cable carries multiple signal lines within a single run, reducing installation time and conduit fill. The stranded conductor construction provides flexibility during pulls through walls, ceilings, and conduit. The PVC jacket offers resistance to abrasion and common installation stresses. Licensed audio-visual and low-voltage contractors are the primary installers of this cable in commercial and residential settings.

This cable is suited for non-plenum audio wiring applications including background music distribution, intercom systems, and general-purpose low-voltage audio signal runs. It is rated for dry and damp interior locations where plenum-rated cable is not required by code. The 1000-foot reel length supports larger installations and reduces the number of in-run splices on extended cable paths.

Key Features

• 4-conductor configuration supports multi-channel or paired audio signal routing in a single cable
• 20 AWG stranded conductors provide flexibility for routing through tight bends and conduit
• Unshielded construction keeps the cable profile compact and cost-effective for standard audio runs
• PVC jacket offers durability and abrasion resistance in typical interior environments
• 1000-foot reel minimizes mid-run splices on long distribution runs
• Non-plenum rated, suitable for use in standard wall, ceiling, and conduit pathways where plenum rating is not required

Compatibility

Designed as a non-plenum, low-voltage audio cable suitable for residential and light commercial audio distribution wiring where a 4-conductor, 20 AWG unshielded PVC cable meets the system specification.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or audio-visual contractor in accordance with applicable local codes and NEC Article 725 for Class 2 and Class 3 remote-control and signaling circuits. This cable is rated for non-plenum spaces only and must not be routed through air-handling plenums or return-air spaces where plenum-rated cable is required by the authority having jurisdiction. De-energize all connected equipment before terminating conductors. Avoid sharp bend radii and contact with high-voltage wiring during routing.
