West Penn Wire 290GY0500 Shielded Cable 22 Awg 500 Ft

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 290GY0500 is a single-pair, 22 AWG solid-conductor shielded cable supplied in a 500-foot length with a gray jacket. This type of cable is a standard choice in low-voltage multimedia and signal distribution applications where shielding is required to reduce electromagnetic interference. The 22 AWG solid conductor construction maintains signal integrity over extended runs, and the overall shield helps reject noise from adjacent wiring and equipment. Licensed low-voltage technicians and A/V or security installers typically specify this cable for structured wiring, intercom, access control, and similar systems.

This cable is suited for residential and light commercial installations where a single twisted or solid pair with shielding is required. Common applications include audio signal runs, intercom wiring, security system field wiring, and other low-voltage multimedia distribution tasks. The gray outer jacket is a common designation for in-wall or conduit routing in these environments, and the 500-foot spool length supports larger projects or multi-drop runs without splicing.

Key Features

• Single-pair 22 AWG solid conductor construction for reliable signal transmission
• Overall shield reduces electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference
• Gray PVC outer jacket suitable for in-wall or conduit applications
• 500-foot spool length minimizes splicing on longer runs
• Intended for low-voltage multimedia, intercom, access control, and signal wiring

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard supply cable for low-voltage multimedia wiring systems requiring a single-pair 22 AWG shielded construction.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or electrical contractor in accordance with applicable NEC low-voltage wiring requirements and local codes. De-energize any connected equipment before terminating or splicing conductors. Use appropriate punch-down tools or terminal blocks rated for 22 AWG wire, and maintain the shield drain wire continuity at the intended grounding point. Avoid running this cable parallel to high-voltage conductors without maintaining proper separation distance per code.
