West Penn Wire AQC227GY1000 12/2 Outdoor Audio Cable Fpl

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE AQC227GY1000 is a 12 AWG 2-conductor shielded audio cable designed for both indoor and outdoor installation. Built to FPL (Fire Power Limited) standards, this cable is suitable for in-wall routing where code compliance is required. The gray jacket resists UV exposure and weathering, making it a reliable choice for exterior speaker runs and distributed audio systems. It ships in a 1000-foot spool, providing enough length for large residential or light commercial audio installations. Licensed low-voltage technicians and AV integrators are the primary installers of this cable.

This cable is used in outdoor audio distribution systems, landscape speaker installations, and indoor distributed audio wiring projects where a single cable run must transition between interior and exterior environments. Its FPL rating satisfies NEC requirements for in-wall low-voltage wiring, making it appropriate for both new construction and retrofit audio projects. The 1000-foot spool length suits multi-zone speaker layouts in residential and light commercial settings.

Key Features

• 12 AWG 2-conductor construction handles longer speaker runs with reduced signal loss
• FPL-rated jacket meets NEC in-wall installation requirements for low-voltage audio wiring
• Rated for indoor and outdoor use with a UV- and weather-resistant gray jacket
• 1000-foot spool length supports large or multi-zone audio installations
• Gray jacket color simplifies identification in low-voltage wiring bundles

Compatibility

Designed as a standard replacement or new-installation cable for residential and light commercial outdoor and in-wall audio distribution systems requiring 12 AWG 2-conductor FPL-rated wire.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician in accordance with NEC Article 725 governing Class 2 and Class 3 remote-control and low-voltage power-limited circuits. De-energize all connected audio equipment and amplifiers before terminating or splicing the cable. When routing through walls, use appropriate low-voltage brackets and maintain separation from line-voltage wiring as required by code. Outdoor runs should be protected from physical damage and secured with appropriate staples or conduit as the installation environment requires.
