West Penn Wire 25210BK0500 2-conductor 10AWG Plenum Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 25210BK0500 is a 2-conductor, 10 AWG shielded plenum-rated cable supplied in a 500-foot length with a black jacket. It is designed for signal and low-voltage wiring applications where the cable must pass through air-handling plenum spaces without a conduit. The plenum jacket rating means the cable meets smoke and flame requirements mandated by building codes for installation in HVAC air-return and supply plenums. Licensed electricians and low-voltage contractors are the primary installers of this cable in commercial and institutional settings.

This cable is suited for multimedia, audio, and low-voltage control wiring routed through plenum ceiling and wall spaces in commercial buildings. Its shielded construction helps reduce electromagnetic interference in environments where multiple cables run in close proximity. The 500-foot spool length supports larger wiring runs common in commercial construction and retrofit projects, reducing the need for mid-run splices.

Key Features

• 2-conductor configuration for straightforward signal or control wiring runs
• 10 AWG conductor gauge supports longer runs with reduced voltage drop
• Shielded construction reduces EMI and RFI interference
• Plenum-rated jacket meets smoke and flame spread requirements for air-handling spaces
• Black jacket for standard identification and aesthetics
• 500-foot length reduces splices on long commercial runs

Compatibility

Designed as a plenum-rated shielded 2-conductor cable for low-voltage multimedia and control wiring applications in commercial air-handling plenum environments.

Installation Notes

Installation of plenum-rated cable in air-handling spaces must comply with NFPA 90A and applicable sections of the National Electrical Code (NEC), including Article 800 for communication cables. De-energize all related circuits before terminating conductors. Use appropriate low-voltage cable staples or J-hooks rated for plenum environments and avoid kinking or over-bending the cable during pull-through. Consult local AHJ requirements, as some jurisdictions impose additional restrictions on cable routing in plenum spaces.
