West Penn Wire 292GY1000 20AWG 2C Shielded Security Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 292GY1000 is a 20 AWG, 2-conductor stranded shielded security cable supplied on a 1000-foot reel with a gray PVC outer jacket. It is built for low-voltage security and alarm signal applications where shielding is required to reject electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference. The stranded conductor construction provides flexibility during installation in conduit or open-air runs. Security installers and low-voltage technicians use this cable for reliable signal transmission in access control, intrusion detection, and similar systems.

This cable is suited for commercial and residential security installations where a shielded, stranded 2-conductor run is specified. The 1000-foot reel length is standard for new construction and retrofit projects requiring extended runs between control panels, sensors, keypads, and peripheral devices. The gray PVC jacket is compatible with both exposed and in-wall routing where local codes permit.

Key Features

• 20 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility in tight conduit and raceway runs
• 2-conductor configuration sized for standard security and alarm signal circuits
• Overall aluminum foil shield reduces EMI and RFI interference on signal lines
• Gray PVC outer jacket rated for typical indoor low-voltage security applications
• 1000-foot reel minimizes splices on long runs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard stranded shielded 2-conductor security cable for use with low-voltage alarm panels, access control systems, and intrusion detection equipment that specify 20 AWG shielded wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm technician in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local codes. De-energize connected equipment before terminating conductors. Maintain minimum bend radius to avoid kinking the shield. Drain wire from the foil shield should be terminated at one end only to prevent ground loops on signal circuits.
