West Penn Wire 77293GY1000 18AWG Shielded Security Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 77293GY1000 is an 18 AWG, 1-pair stranded tinned shielded security cable supplied in a 1000-foot put-up. The tinned copper conductors resist oxidation in humid or corrosive environments, and the overall foil shield reduces electromagnetic interference that can degrade signal integrity in low-voltage security and alarm circuits. The gray jacket provides a neutral, professional appearance suited to both exposed and concealed runs. This cable is handled and installed by licensed low-voltage technicians and security system integrators working in commercial and residential applications.

This cable is designed for low-voltage security, alarm, and access-control wiring where shielded signal pairs are required. Typical applications include connecting door contacts, motion detectors, glass-break sensors, and other security devices back to a central control panel. The 1000-foot reel reduces the number of mid-run splices needed on larger projects, making it a common choice for new construction and retrofit security installations.

Key Features

• 18 AWG stranded tinned copper conductors for flexibility and oxidation resistance
• Overall foil shield minimizes EMI and RFI interference on low-voltage signal runs
• Gray PVC jacket suitable for exposed or in-wall routing
• 1000-foot continuous put-up reduces field splices on large installations
• Stranded construction improves pull flexibility compared to solid conductors

Compatibility

Designed as a standard low-voltage shielded security cable for use in residential and commercial alarm, access-control, and security system wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security systems technician in compliance with applicable local codes and NFPA 72 requirements. De-energize the control panel and connected devices before terminating or splicing conductors. Maintain consistent shield drain-wire grounding practice at one end only to avoid ground loops that can introduce noise. Keep cable runs separated from high-voltage power conductors to preserve signal integrity.
