This multi-conductor configuration reduces conduit fill and simplifies rough-in by consolidating two functions into a single cable run. It is designed for installation by low-voltage technicians and security system integrators working on access control projects where both data and auxiliary I\/O signals must be routed to the same device or door hardware location.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis cable is suited for commercial and light commercial access control installations where OSDP-compliant card readers, keypads, or similar devices require simultaneous data and I\/O wiring. The 22 AWG shielded pair handles the OSDP communication link between controller and reader, while the 18\/2 unshielded conductors serve request-to-exit, door contact, or other supervised I\/O circuits. It is sold by the foot or in bulk reel quantities depending on the unit of measure at purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComposite cable design combines shielded OSDP data pair and unshielded 18\/2 I\/O conductors in one jacket\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e22 AWG shielded twisted pair supports OSDP serial communication to readers and controllers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18\/2 unshielded conductors handle auxiliary I\/O, request-to-exit, or door contact circuits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduces conduit fill and installation labor by consolidating multiple cable functions into a single run\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for commercial access control rough-in and retrofit applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard access control cable for use with OSDP-compliant readers, controllers, and I\/O devices in commercial low-voltage security installations.\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 NEC Article 725 requirements for Class 2 or Class 3 signaling circuits. De-energize the access control panel and connected devices before terminating conductors. Maintain the integrity of the shielded pair twist and drain wire termination at the controller end to preserve signal quality on the OSDP communication link. Avoid running this cable in the same conduit as high-voltage power conductors without appropriate separation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable Configuration\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 shielded twisted pair, 22 AWG plus 18\/2 unshielded\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary Pair Gauge\u003c\/strong\u003e: 22 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eI\/O Conductor Gauge\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 AWG, 2 conductors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShield Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Shielded on OSDP pair, unshielded on I\/O pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Access control, OSDP communication, auxiliary I\/O\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: EA\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity Per Unit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\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: AQC1P2218BK1000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"WEST PENN WIRE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51559634534706,"sku":"AQC1P2218BK1000","price":1717.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/west-penn-wire-aqc1p2218bk1000-access-control-wire","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
