Designed for stranded, shielded signal runs in security and low-voltage systems, this cable carries analog or digital signals with foil or braid shielding that reduces electromagnetic interference along the run. The stranded conductors provide flexibility during pull-through and termination. Security integrators and low-voltage electricians install this cable in commercial and residential applications where a buried or in-conduit run is required between control panels, sensors, and peripheral devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cable is suited for security system wiring including alarm panels, motion detectors, door and window contacts, and access control field devices. Its direct burial rating makes it appropriate for outdoor underground runs where conduit is not available or practical, reducing installation labor and material cost on perimeter and exterior device wiring. The 500-foot length accommodates longer site runs without a mid-run splice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility during installation and termination\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eShielded construction reduces electromagnetic and radio frequency interference on signal runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDirect burial rating supports outdoor underground installation without conduit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1-pair configuration suited for single-channel analog or digital security signal circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e500-foot continuous reel minimizes splices on longer runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack jacket for UV resistance and low-visibility outdoor routing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and standard installation cable for low-voltage security and access control wiring applications requiring 18 AWG shielded conductors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm systems technician in accordance with applicable NEC Articles 725 and 800 for low-voltage and communications wiring. De-energize all connected control panels and devices before making terminations. When burying the cable directly, follow local code requirements for minimum burial depth, typically 6 inches or greater for direct burial signal cable. Avoid routing parallel to high-voltage power conductors to preserve signal integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConductor Gauge\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConductor Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stranded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 Pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShielding\u003c\/strong\u003e: Shielded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Direct Burial\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 500 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e: Security Stranded Shielded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: EA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: WEST PENN WIRE\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: AQ293BK0500\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WEST PENN WIRE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51686321717554,"sku":"AQ293BK0500","price":737.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/west-penn-wire-aq293bk0500-18-awg-shielded-cable","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
