West Penn Wire AQ226BK0500 14AWG 2C Security Cable 500ft

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE AQ226BK0500 is a 14 AWG 2-conductor stranded security cable rated for wet location use with dual FPL (Fire Power Limited) listing in a black jacket. The stranded conductor construction provides flexibility during routing and termination, making it well suited for security and low-voltage signal applications where the wire path includes bends, conduit runs, or pull-through scenarios. This 500-foot reel is designed for use by licensed low-voltage and security system technicians who need a reliable, code-compliant wire for extended runs in demanding environments.

This cable is appropriate for residential and commercial security installations including access control, intrusion detection, and low-voltage signaling systems. The wet location rating and dual FPL listing make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor-rated pathways where moisture exposure is a factor. The black jacket allows for discreet routing in surface-mount or exposed installations. The 500-foot length accommodates larger projects or multi-zone installations that require continuous uncut runs.

Key Features

• 14 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility and ease of termination
• 2-conductor configuration for standard security and low-voltage signal circuits
• Wet location rated for use in damp or outdoor-adjacent environments
• Dual FPL (Fire Power Limited) listing supports code-compliant installation in plenum and non-plenum fire alarm and security pathways
• Black jacket for low-visibility surface routing
• 500-foot reel reduces the need for mid-run splices on longer installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-supply option for stranded unshielded 2-conductor security wire applications requiring 14 AWG conductors with wet location and FPL ratings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security technician in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local codes. De-energize the panel or control system before making any terminations. Maintain minimum bend radius for stranded conductors to avoid conductor damage during pulls. For wet location runs, verify all connectors and termination points are rated for the same environment as the cable.
