West Penn Wire 813BK1000 RG58/U Coaxial Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE 813BK1000 is a solid-conductor RG58/U coaxial cable in black, non-plenum jacket, supplied in a 1000-foot quantity. RG58/U is a 50-ohm coaxial cable widely used for low-power RF signal transmission, data communications, and security system wiring. The solid center conductor provides consistent impedance and reliable signal integrity across the run length. This cable is intended for installation in non-plenum-rated spaces such as conduit, wall cavities, and cable trays where plenum fire-rating is not required by code.

This RG58/U coaxial cable is suited for residential and light commercial installations including CCTV, two-way radio feed lines, network antenna connections, and general-purpose RF signal routing. It is commonly installed by low-voltage technicians, security system integrators, and communications contractors. The non-plenum PVC jacket is appropriate for use in dry, protected environments where NEC Article 820 plenum requirements do not apply.

Key Features

• RG58/U coaxial construction with solid center conductor for stable 50-ohm impedance
• Non-plenum PVC jacket rated for standard dry-space installations
• Black jacket for easy identification and discreet routing
• 1000-foot continuous pull length reduces mid-run splices
• Shielded coaxial design suppresses electromagnetic interference (EMI)

Compatibility

Designed as a standard RG58/U replacement or new-installation coaxial cable for 50-ohm RF and signal applications in non-plenum environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician in accordance with NEC Article 820 for coaxial cable wiring. De-energize any connected equipment before terminating cable ends. Avoid sharp bend radii that could deform the dielectric and alter impedance. Do not install this non-plenum-rated cable in air-handling spaces or plenums where a CMP-rated cable is required by code.
