West Penn Wire 25244BGY1000 18/4 Shielded Security Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 25244BGY1000 is an 18 AWG, 4-conductor stranded shielded security cable supplied in a 1000-foot gray jacket. It is designed for low-voltage security, access control, and alarm signal applications where shielding is required to reduce electromagnetic interference. The stranded construction provides flexibility during installation in conduit or free-air runs. Licensed security and low-voltage contractors install this cable as part of panel-to-device wiring in commercial and residential security systems.

This cable is suited for indoor security system wiring including intrusion detection, access control panels, door contacts, motion sensors, and similar low-voltage signal circuits. The gray outer jacket is a common choice for commercial installations where cable color coding by application is standard practice. The 1000-foot reel quantity is sized for larger projects or installer stock.

Key Features

• 18 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility and pull strength in conduit runs
• 4-conductor configuration supports multi-wire device connections in a single cable run
• Foil or braid shield reduces EMI and RFI interference on signal lines
• Gray jacket aids in cable identification per low-voltage installation conventions
• 1000-foot reel length reduces splicing and suits commercial-scale projects

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock cable for low-voltage security and access control wiring applications requiring 18 AWG 4-conductor shielded cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security systems contractor in accordance with applicable local codes and NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 725 for Class 2 or Class 3 signal circuits. De-energize all connected panels and control equipment before terminating conductors. Maintain the drain wire connection to a single-point shield ground to avoid ground loops. Avoid running signal cable parallel and in close proximity to high-voltage power conductors.
