Supplied on a 1000-foot reel in black, this cable is built for security and low-voltage signal runs that must be routed below grade without conduit. The stranded conductor construction allows for easier pulling and termination compared to solid wire. Security installers, low-voltage technicians, and licensed electricians use this cable for exterior perimeter runs, access control wiring, and surveillance system home-run pulls where direct earth burial is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cable is suited for residential and commercial security system installations where conductors must pass underground between buildings, along perimeters, or from exterior devices to a central panel. The 4-conductor configuration supports a variety of security and access control device wiring schemes. Its direct burial rating eliminates the need for conduit in most standard below-grade installations, reducing material cost and labor time on exterior security runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18 AWG stranded conductors for flexible routing and easier field termination\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4-conductor configuration supports multi-wire security and access control device connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDirect burial rated jacket for underground installation without conduit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBlack jacket for low-visibility exterior runs and standard security industry color coding\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1000-foot reel quantity suited for large commercial or multi-zone residential projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStranded shielded category construction helps reduce signal interference on low-voltage runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a direct burial low-voltage security cable compatible with standard 18 AWG 4-conductor termination points on security panels, access control hardware, and exterior surveillance devices requiring underground conductor runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for direct burial cable depth and protection. De-energize all connected equipment before making terminations. When trenching, maintain the minimum burial depth required by local code and the NEC for direct burial conductors. Avoid sharp bends or kinking during pull-in to preserve jacket integrity and shield continuity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConductor Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Conductors\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConductor Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stranded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1000 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJacket Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Direct Burial\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Category\u003c\/strong\u003e: Security Stranded Shielded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each (1 reel)\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: AQ3244BK1000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WEST PENN WIRE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51685752865074,"sku":"AQ3244BK1000","price":2114.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/west-penn-wire-aq3244bk1000-18-4-direct-burial-cable","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
