West Penn Wire 25226BBK1000 14AWG Plenum Security Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 25226BBK1000 is a plenum-rated, unshielded, stranded 14 AWG security cable supplied in a 1000-foot pull. Built to meet plenum air-handling space requirements, this cable carries a CMP or equivalent plenum jacket rating, making it suitable for installation in return-air plenums and air ducts where low-smoke and flame-spread characteristics are required by code. The 1-pair, 14 AWG stranded construction provides flexibility during pulls through conduit or cable trays. Security integrators and low-voltage technicians install this cable for access control, alarm systems, and related security wiring applications where a plenum-rated pathway is required.

This cable is intended for commercial and residential security system installations where the cable route passes through plenum air-handling spaces. Typical applications include running conductors between access control panels, door contacts, motion detectors, and alarm control boards in buildings that require plenum-rated cabling per NFPA 90A and local fire codes. The stranded conductor construction eases termination at screw terminals and punch-down blocks commonly found in security and access control equipment.

Key Features

• Plenum-rated jacket suitable for installation in air-handling spaces per NFPA 90A requirements
• 14 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility during installation and easier field termination
• 1-pair configuration sized for point-to-point security and access control wiring runs
• Unshielded construction keeps the cable profile slim for high-density conduit fills
• 1000-foot pull length reduces the need for mid-run splices on longer commercial runs

Compatibility

Designed as a plenum-rated low-voltage wiring solution for residential and commercial security, access control, and alarm system installations requiring unshielded stranded conductors in air-handling spaces.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician familiar with NEC Article 800 and local fire and building codes governing plenum-rated cabling. De-energize all panels and control equipment before making terminations. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius, and do not route plenum cable alongside high-voltage conductors without maintaining proper separation per NEC guidelines. Verify the plenum rating is acceptable to the authority having jurisdiction before roughing in the cable.
