West Penn Wire 25294BGY1000 Plenum Audio Cable 2C 16AWG Gray 1000ft

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 25294BGY1000 is a 2-conductor, 16 AWG shielded plenum-rated audio cable supplied in a 1000-foot put-up. Designed for low-voltage audio distribution, this cable carries a plenum (CMP) rating, meaning it meets the flame and smoke requirements for installation in air-handling spaces such as dropped ceilings and HVAC return-air plenums without conduit. The foil or braid shield provides interference rejection, keeping signal clean in environments with multiple cable runs or nearby electrical sources. Low-voltage installers and licensed electricians handling structured media or commercial AV work are the primary installers for this product.

This cable is suited for background music systems, paging systems, and distributed audio installations in commercial, institutional, and residential settings where plenum-rated cable is required by code. The gray jacket aids in cable identification within larger bundles. The 1000-foot continuous reel length reduces mid-run splices on longer pulls, making it practical for full-floor commercial audio installations or multi-room residential AV wiring.

Key Features

• Plenum (CMP) rated jacket meets NEC requirements for air-handling space installation without conduit
• 2-conductor, 16 AWG construction suitable for low-voltage audio signal runs
• Shielded design reduces electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference
• Gray jacket color for easy identification in multi-cable installations
• 1000-foot continuous length minimizes splices on long cable pulls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum audio cable suitable for 2-conductor shielded low-voltage audio wiring applications where a CMP-rated cable is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician in accordance with NEC Article 725 and local codes governing communication and audio cables. Verify the plenum rating requirement with the authority having jurisdiction before routing cable through air-handling spaces. Maintain minimum bend radius to avoid kinking the shield or damaging the jacket. De-energize any connected audio equipment before terminating conductors.
