West Penn Wire 301GY1000 3C 22AWG Shielded Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 301GY1000 is a 3-conductor, 22 AWG stranded shielded cable designed for low-voltage security and alarm system wiring. The bare shield construction provides electromagnetic interference protection, helping maintain signal integrity across the run. Stranded conductors allow for easier routing through conduit and around obstacles compared to solid wire. This cable is rated CMR (Riser), meaning it meets the flame-spread requirements for installation in building risers and vertical runs between floors. Security integrators and low-voltage technicians are the primary installers of this product.

This cable is used in commercial and residential security installations including intrusion detection systems, access control panels, motion detectors, and alarm system field devices. The CMR riser rating makes it appropriate for vertical shaft and riser installations where fire code compliance is required. The 22 AWG conductor size is a standard fit for most low-voltage security device wiring applications where signal runs are moderate in length.

Key Features

• 3-conductor configuration supports multi-wire device connections in a single cable run
• 22 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility and ease of termination
• Bare shield reduces electromagnetic and radio frequency interference on signal lines
• CMR riser rating meets NEC requirements for in-building vertical cable runs
• Stranded construction simplifies routing through conduit and tight pathways

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement and new-installation cable for low-voltage security and alarm system wiring applications requiring a 3-conductor 22 AWG shielded riser-rated cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm systems technician in accordance with NEC Article 725 and any applicable local codes. De-energize the panel or control equipment before making terminations. Maintain consistent shield grounding practice at one end of the run to avoid ground loops. Avoid running this cable in the same conduit as high-voltage conductors.
