West Penn Wire 60990BRD1000 Shielded Security Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 60990BRD1000 is a 16 AWG single-pair shielded security cable rated for plenum air-handling spaces. It features a solid conductor construction with a foil or braid shield to reduce electromagnetic interference in low-voltage signal runs. The plenum rating means the jacket compound meets smoke and flame requirements for installation inside air ducts, return-air plenums, and other environmental air spaces as defined by applicable codes. Security installers, low-voltage technicians, and licensed electricians use this cable for access control, intrusion detection, and related signaling systems where code-compliant cable routing through plenum spaces is required.

This cable is suited for commercial and residential security system installations where a single pair of 16-gauge conductors is needed for device wiring. Typical applications include door contacts, motion detectors, glass-break sensors, and other low-voltage security peripherals. The shielded construction helps maintain signal integrity in environments with nearby power wiring or other potential sources of electrical noise. The 1000-foot reel length supports large commercial runs without mid-run splices.

Key Features

• 16 AWG solid conductor construction for reliable low-voltage signal transmission
• Single-pair configuration suitable for two-conductor security device wiring
• Shielded design reduces electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference on signal runs
• Plenum-rated jacket meets smoke and flame requirements for air-handling space installations
• 1000-foot reel minimizes splices on long commercial runs

Compatibility

Designed as a plenum-rated, shielded low-voltage security cable for use in access control, intrusion alarm, and general security signaling applications where a single 16 AWG pair is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 760 and local jurisdiction requirements. De-energize all connected equipment and confirm zero voltage on the circuit before making terminations. Plenum-rated cable must be installed in plenum air-handling spaces; non-plenum riser or general-purpose cable is not an acceptable substitute in those areas. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable manufacturer minimum bend radius, and maintain physical separation from power conductors where required by code.
