West Penn Wire 25224BYE1000 18/2 Stranded Security Wire

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 25224BYE1000 is an 18 AWG, 2-conductor stranded unshielded plain security wire supplied in a 1000-foot spool. Finished in yellow jacketing for easy identification in the field, this wire is built for low-voltage signal and control applications common in security, fire alarm, and access control systems. The stranded conductor construction improves flexibility during routing through conduit, walls, and cable trays. Licensed security and alarm technicians reach for this wire when running detection loops, sensor leads, and control panel connections in both new construction and retrofit installations.

This wire is suited for residential and light commercial security system installations where a low-voltage, 2-conductor unshielded run is specified. Typical applications include door and window contact wiring, motion detector leads, keypad connections, and general alarm control wiring. The yellow jacket aids circuit tracing and meets common color-coding conventions used in security and life-safety wiring layouts. The 1000-foot spool length supports larger projects and reduces mid-run splices.

Key Features

• 18 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility during installation
• 2-conductor configuration for simple signal and control runs
• Unshielded plain construction keeps termination simple where shielding is not required
• Yellow jacket for quick visual identification and color-coded circuit organization
• 1000-foot spool minimizes mid-run splices on larger jobs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock wire for low-voltage residential and commercial security, alarm, and access control wiring applications requiring 18 AWG 2-conductor unshielded cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm systems technician in accordance with applicable local codes and NFPA 72 requirements where fire alarm service is involved. De-energize the control panel and any associated power supplies before making terminations. Avoid routing this unshielded wire in close parallel runs with high-voltage AC conductors, as induced noise may affect signal integrity. Verify minimum bend radius and pull-tension limits when fishing wire through conduit or tight pathways.
