West Penn Wire 290GY1000 22 Awg Shielded Security Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 290GY1000 is a single-pair, 22 AWG solid-conductor shielded security cable with a PVC jacket. It is designed for low-voltage signal transmission in security, access control, and alarm system applications. The solid 22 AWG conductors provide reliable continuity over runs common in commercial and residential security installations. The overall shield reduces electromagnetic interference and helps maintain signal integrity across the cable run. This cable is sold by the foot or in bulk spool quantities depending on supplier packaging, and is a standard choice for security integrators and alarm technicians pulling new cable or replacing damaged runs.

This cable is suited for indoor security system wiring including alarm panels, door and window contacts, motion detectors, and access control readers. It performs well in structured wiring environments where shielded cable is required by the system manufacturer or local code. The PVC jacket makes it appropriate for general-purpose indoor use in dry or damp locations where a standard jacket rating applies. Security installers and low-voltage contractors are the primary trades working with this product.

Key Features

• Single pair configuration with 22 AWG solid conductors for consistent signal transmission
• Overall foil or braid shield reduces EMI and RFI interference on signal runs
• PVC jacket provides durable protection for indoor installation environments
• Suitable for low-voltage security, alarm, and access control wiring
• Sold as a single unit per the supplier unit of measure

Compatibility

Designed as a standard low-voltage shielded security cable for use with alarm panels, access control systems, and detection devices that require 22 AWG single-pair shielded cable input wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm contractor in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local codes. De-energize any connected panels or control equipment before terminating conductors. Maintain proper drain wire grounding of the shield at one end only to avoid ground loops. Avoid running this cable parallel to high-voltage power conductors to preserve signal quality.
