West Penn Wire 25242BGY1000 Plenum Security Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 25242BGY1000 is a 4-conductor, 20 AWG stranded plenum-rated security cable sold in a 1000-foot pull. Built for low-voltage signal and control applications, it uses a stranded conductor configuration that provides greater flexibility during routing and termination compared to solid wire. The plenum rating means the jacket material meets smoke and flame spread requirements for use in air-handling spaces without conduit. Security integrators, alarm technicians, and low-voltage contractors specify this cable for structured wiring projects where code compliance in plenum spaces is required.

This cable is suited for commercial and residential security system installations, including intrusion detection, access control wiring, and low-voltage signal runs routed through ceiling plenums, above drop ceilings, and other air-handling return spaces. The 4-conductor, 20 AWG configuration supports multiple zone runs or device feeds from a single cable pull, reducing installation time on larger projects.

Key Features

• Plenum-rated jacket meets smoke and flame spread requirements for air-handling spaces
• 4-conductor layout supports multi-zone or multi-wire device connections in a single run
• 20 AWG stranded conductors offer flexibility for routing through tight pathways and conduit bends
• Unshielded construction keeps termination simple where EMI interference is not a concern
• 1000-foot continuous pull length reduces splice points on long runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum security cable for use with low-voltage security, access control, and alarm systems requiring 4-conductor 20 AWG unshielded wiring in plenum-rated installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm contractor in accordance with NFPA 72, NEC Article 760, and applicable local codes. De-energize the control panel and all connected devices before making terminations. Avoid routing plenum cable alongside high-voltage conductors without adequate separation as required by code. Do not kink or crush the cable during pulling, as stranded conductors can be damaged by sharp bends at pull points.
