West Penn Wire 25225BWH0500 16/2 Shielded Security Cable 500ft

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 25225BWH0500 is a 16 AWG, 2-conductor stranded shielded security cable supplied in a 500-foot reel. The conductors are stranded for flexibility during installation and pull-through in conduit or raceway. An overall shield provides protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI), making this cable suitable for low-voltage signal runs where noise rejection matters. The white compound jacket resists abrasion and is rated for use in security and alarm wiring applications. Licensed security installers and low-voltage technicians are the primary installers of this cable type.

This cable is designed for use in commercial and residential security systems, including intrusion detection panels, access control wiring, and alarm signaling circuits. The shielded construction suits environments where signal integrity must be maintained over longer runs or in areas with other electrical equipment nearby. The 500-foot length is practical for larger installations or multi-zone security system wiring projects where continuous runs reduce splices and connection points.

Key Features

• 16 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility and pull-through ease
• 2-conductor configuration for standard security and alarm signal runs
• Overall shield for EMI and RFI noise rejection on low-voltage signal circuits
• White compound jacket for identification and abrasion resistance
• 500-foot reel length reduces splice points on larger installations
• Categorized under security stranded shielded PLE cable series

Compatibility

Designed as a replacement or new-installation cable for low-voltage security, intrusion detection, and alarm signaling systems requiring 16 AWG 2-conductor shielded wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security systems technician in accordance with applicable local codes and NFPA 72 requirements for alarm signaling cable. De-energize the panel and any connected devices before terminating conductors. Maintain proper shield drain wire termination at one end only to avoid ground loops on shielded signal runs. Avoid running this cable parallel to high-voltage power conductors to preserve signal integrity.
