West Penn Wire 25510BGY0500 22 Awg Shielded Security Cable 500 Ft

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 25510BGY0500 is a 22 AWG, 2-pair stranded, shielded security cable supplied in a 500-foot gray jacket. Built for low-voltage signal and control wiring, this cable is engineered for security and alarm system installations where shielding is required to reduce electromagnetic interference. The stranded conductors provide flexibility during pull and termination, while the overall shield helps maintain signal integrity across long runs. Licensed security and low-voltage technicians are the primary installers of this cable type.

This cable is suited for residential and light commercial security system wiring, including alarm panels, access control, motion detectors, door and window contacts, and similar low-voltage applications. The gray outer jacket is a common finish for in-wall or conduit runs where a neutral color is preferred. The 500-foot put-up length is appropriate for single-job or multi-zone installations without mid-run splices.

Key Features

• 22 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility during installation and at terminations
• 2-pair (4-conductor) configuration suits multi-zone or multi-function security runs
• Overall shield reduces electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference on signal circuits
• Gray PVC-type jacket provides a clean, neutral finish for in-wall or exposed conduit runs
• 500-foot continuous put-up minimizes the need for mid-run splices on larger installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard install cable for low-voltage security and alarm system wiring requiring 22 AWG 2-pair shielded construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security systems technician in accordance with applicable local codes and NEC Article 725 requirements for Class 2 or Class 3 signal circuits. De-energize all connected panels and control equipment before making terminations. Maintain the shield continuity and terminate the drain wire to a proper ground point at one end only to avoid ground loops. Avoid routing alongside high-voltage conductors to preserve signal integrity.
