West Penn Wire 25291BGY1000 22 Awg Plenum Audio Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 25291BGY1000 is a 2-conductor, 22 AWG stranded, shielded plenum-rated audio cable supplied in a 1000-foot gray jacket. Designed for low-voltage audio signal distribution, the plenum rating makes it suitable for installation in air-handling spaces where standard PVC-jacketed cable is not permitted by code. The stranded conductors maintain flexibility during routing, while the foil shield reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) on signal runs. Licensed electricians and low-voltage systems technicians are the primary installers of this product in commercial and institutional settings.

This cable is used in distributed audio systems, background music installations, public address (PA) systems, and intercom wiring in commercial buildings, schools, hospitals, and office environments. Its gray outer jacket blends with ceiling and wall finishes commonly found in commercial interiors. The 1000-foot reel length suits larger jobs where continuous runs minimize splices and maintain signal integrity across the installation.

Key Features

• 2-conductor, 22 AWG stranded construction for flexibility and ease of termination
• Foil shield reduces EMI and RFI interference on audio signal runs
• Plenum-rated jacket meets code requirements for installation in air-handling spaces
• Gray outer jacket suitable for commercial interior environments
• 1000-foot continuous reel minimizes splice points on longer runs
• Low-voltage audio signal application — compatible with distributed audio and PA system wiring

Compatibility

Designed as a plenum-rated, 2-conductor shielded cable for use in low-voltage audio signal distribution, background music, PA, and intercom systems in commercial installations where air-handling plenum spaces require compliant cabling.

Installation Notes

Installation in plenum air-handling spaces must comply with applicable local building codes and NFPA 90A requirements for plenum-rated cable. De-energize all connected audio or signal equipment before terminating conductors. Use appropriate low-voltage hand tools for stripping and terminating; avoid nicking the foil shield or conductor strands during prep. Low-voltage or systems integration contractors should verify local AHJ requirements before roughing in.
