West Penn Wire AQ226BK1000 14 Awg 2-conductor Security Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE AQ226BK1000 is a 14 AWG, 2-conductor stranded security cable rated for both WETLOC and FPL applications. Built for demanding low-voltage security and fire alarm wiring, this 1000-foot reel of black cable delivers the flexibility of stranded conductors in environments where moisture resistance is required. The FPL (Fire Power Limited) rating qualifies it for in-wall runs in residential and light commercial security installations. Stranded construction makes termination easier at panels, keypads, and device endpoints compared to solid conductor alternatives.

This cable is suited for licensed low-voltage and security system technicians installing intrusion detection, access control wiring, or related alarm system circuits. The WETLOC rating makes it appropriate for damp or wet location runs where standard plenum or riser cables would not meet code requirements. The 1000-foot put-up length is well matched to new construction or large retrofit projects requiring continuous runs without mid-run splices.

Key Features

• 14 AWG stranded conductors for flexible routing and easy termination
• 2-conductor configuration for standard security and alarm device wiring
• WETLOC rating supports damp and wet location installations
• FPL (Fire Power Limited) rating qualifies for in-wall residential and commercial runs
• 1000-foot reel minimizes splice points on longer runs
• Black jacket for discreet surface or concealed installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use cable for low-voltage security, intrusion, and fire alarm wiring circuits in residential and light commercial applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm systems technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for FPL-rated cable. De-energize the panel and any connected devices before making terminations. Observe minimum bend radius for stranded cable to avoid conductor damage during routing. Verify local AHJ acceptance of WETLOC-rated cable for the intended wet or damp location prior to rough-in.
