West Penn Wire 25224BGY0500 18AWG 2-conductor Plenum Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 25224BGY0500 is an 18 AWG, 2-conductor stranded plenum-rated cable finished in gray. Designed for low-voltage signal and control wiring in air-handling spaces, this cable meets plenum requirements for installation in HVAC plenums, raised-floor air returns, and ceiling air spaces where building codes prohibit standard non-plenum cable. It ships in a 500-foot quantity and is handled as a single unit. Licensed electricians and low-voltage technicians are the primary installers for this type of cable.

This cable is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a 2-conductor, 18 AWG run is required in a plenum air space. Common uses include thermostat wiring, fire alarm circuits, security system control lines, and audio or intercom signal runs routed through HVAC plenums or above drop ceilings with return-air plenum designation. The solid unshielded plenum construction makes it appropriate for environments that demand low-smoke, low-flame-spread cable per applicable fire codes.

Key Features

• 18 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility during installation
• 2-conductor configuration for simple control and signal circuits
• Plenum-rated jacket suitable for air-handling spaces
• Gray jacket for easy identification in multi-cable runs
• 500-foot spool sold as a single unit

Compatibility

Designed as a plenum-rated low-voltage control and signal cable for use in HVAC, security, fire alarm, and intercom systems requiring 18 AWG 2-conductor plenum wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation in plenum air spaces must comply with applicable sections of the National Electrical Code (NEC) governing plenum cable routing and support. Power down all associated low-voltage control circuits before terminating or splicing. Use appropriate low-voltage wire connectors and follow local AHJ requirements for cable support intervals in ceiling and plenum spaces. Do not substitute non-plenum cable in designated air-handling spaces.
