West Penn Wire 253241BGY1000 22AWG 4C Shielded Plenum Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 253241BGY1000 is a 22 AWG, 4-conductor stranded shielded cable rated for plenum-space installation. It is designed for low-voltage security, access control, and alarm system wiring in commercial and residential buildings. The plenum rating means the jacket compound meets smoke and flame requirements for use in air-handling spaces without conduit in many jurisdictions. The stranded conductors provide flexibility during pull-through installations, and the overall shield provides protection against electromagnetic interference. This 1000-foot gray reel is a standard format for new construction and large retrofit projects handled by licensed low-voltage or security technicians.

This cable is suited for security system wiring, access control panel runs, fire alarm auxiliary circuits, and similar low-voltage signal applications where plenum-rated cable is required by code. Its gray jacket is a common choice for above-ceiling and in-wall runs in commercial office, healthcare, and institutional environments. The 4-conductor configuration supports typical detector loop, door contact, and keypad wiring layouts. Installers pulling long home-run runs to a central panel will find the 1000-foot reel length efficient for minimizing splices.

Key Features

• 22 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility in tight routing paths
• 4-conductor configuration supports multi-wire security and access control runs
• Overall shield reduces EMI and signal interference on low-voltage circuits
• Plenum-rated jacket compound meets smoke and flame requirements for air-handling spaces
• Gray jacket color suits commercial above-ceiling and in-wall installations
• 1000-foot reel minimizes splices on long home-run pulls

Compatibility

Designed as a plenum-rated, stranded shielded 22 AWG 4-conductor cable for use in low-voltage security, access control, and alarm wiring systems where plenum installation is required by code.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or security systems contractor in accordance with NFPA 72, NEC Article 760, and local authority having jurisdiction requirements. Verify plenum rating is required or permitted in the target pathway before pulling cable. Terminate the drain wire and shield at one end only to avoid ground loops on shielded signal runs. Do not exceed the cable minimum bend radius during pull-through to preserve shield integrity and conductor geometry.
