West Penn Wire 248BK1000 4C 12 Awg Stranded Pvc Security Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 248BK1000 is a 4-conductor, 12 AWG stranded unshielded cable with a PVC jacket, supplied in a 1000-foot quantity. It is designed for low-voltage security and control wiring applications where a flexible, multi-conductor run is required. The stranded construction provides flexibility during installation, making it well-suited for routing through conduit, raceways, or along structural members. The PVC jacket offers durable protection against abrasion and moisture in typical indoor environments. Security and low-voltage electricians are the primary installers of this cable type.

This cable is used in residential and commercial security system wiring, including alarm panels, access control, and general low-voltage control circuits. The 4-conductor configuration supports multi-zone or multi-function wiring in a single run, reducing the number of separate cable pulls needed. The 12 AWG stranded conductors support runs where voltage drop over distance is a consideration.

Key Features

• 4-conductor configuration supports multi-zone security and control wiring in a single cable
• 12 AWG stranded conductors provide flexibility and support longer low-voltage runs
• Unshielded design simplifies termination in low-interference environments
• PVC jacket offers abrasion resistance and protection in standard indoor installations
• 1000-foot quantity reduces splicing and supports large installs or service stock

Compatibility

Designed for use in low-voltage security, alarm, and control wiring systems requiring a 4-conductor 12 AWG stranded unshielded cable with a PVC jacket.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or electrical contractor in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for low-voltage wiring. De-energize all connected panels and control equipment before terminating conductors. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, as this can damage stranded conductors or the jacket. Do not install in environments with exposure to oils, solvents, or direct UV unless the jacket rating supports those conditions.
