West Penn Wire 25225BSGN1000 16/2 Shielded Security Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 25225BSGN1000 is a 16 AWG, 2-conductor stranded shielded security cable supplied in a 1000-foot spool. It is constructed with a plenum-rated, shielded design intended for low-voltage security and alarm system wiring in commercial and residential installations. The stranded conductors provide flexibility during routing and termination, while the overall shield helps reduce electromagnetic interference on signal runs. Licensed low-voltage and alarm technicians are the primary installers of this cable type.

This cable is suited for security system applications including alarm panels, access control wiring, and sensor runs where shielded, stranded conductors are required. The plenum-rated jacket makes it appropriate for installation in air-handling spaces and plenum ceilings where building codes require low-smoke, flame-retardant materials. It is commonly used in commercial retrofit and new construction projects that call for shielded 16 AWG 2-conductor cable.

Key Features

• 16 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility and ease of termination
• 2-conductor configuration for security and alarm signal runs
• Overall shield reduces electromagnetic and radio frequency interference
• Plenum-rated jacket suitable for air-handling spaces
• 1000-foot spool minimizes splice points on long runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-install cable for low-voltage security, alarm, and access control systems requiring shielded 16 AWG 2-conductor stranded plenum cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm technician in accordance with applicable NEC Article 760 requirements for fire alarm and security wiring. De-energize the panel and associated circuits before making terminations. Maintain the shield drain wire continuity and terminate it at only one end to avoid ground loops on signal circuits. Avoid sharp bends that could deform the shield or conductors during cable routing.
