West Penn Wire 25296BGY1000 Shielded Plenum Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 25296BGY1000 is a shielded plenum-rated cable designed for low-voltage signal and control wiring in air-handling spaces. Constructed with 1 pair of 12 AWG stranded bare copper conductors, this cable carries a CMP (plenum) rating, making it suitable for installation in HVAC plenum spaces without the need for conduit in most jurisdictions. The gray jacket provides clear visual identification on the job. This cable is sold as a 1000-foot reel, making it appropriate for large commercial runs.

This cable is used in commercial and light-industrial applications where signal integrity and fire-code compliance are both required. Typical installations include structured wiring for HVAC controls, audio distribution, security systems, and intercom wiring run through plenum ceilings or raised-floor air-return spaces. The stranded bare copper conductors offer flexibility during pull-through installation compared to solid conductors, reducing the risk of conductor breakage in tight conduit or j-hook runs.

Key Features

• Plenum-rated (CMP) jacket meets fire and smoke requirements for air-handling spaces
• 1 pair, 12 AWG stranded bare copper conductors for flexibility and conductivity
• Shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) on sensitive signal runs
• Gray jacket color for easy visual identification in multi-cable installations
• 1000-foot reel length suited for large commercial wiring projects

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style plenum signal and control cable for use in low-voltage wiring systems requiring CMP-rated shielded cable in air-handling or plenum ceiling environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or low-voltage technician familiar with NEC Article 800 and CMP cable requirements. De-energize all connected equipment before terminating conductors. Maintain proper bend radius during pulling to protect the shield and stranded conductors. Do not exceed the cable's rated pulling tension when routing through conduit or j-hooks.
