West Penn Wire AQC294GY0500 16 Awg Shielded Security Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE AQC294GY0500 is a single-pair, 16 AWG stranded shielded cable designed for security and low-voltage signal wiring applications. The stranded conductor construction provides flexibility during installation, while the shielding helps reduce electromagnetic interference that can degrade signal quality in security systems. This cable is sold by the foot or as a packaged unit and is typically installed by licensed electricians or trained security system technicians working on commercial or residential security infrastructure.

This cable is suited for security system wiring including alarm panels, access control, motion detectors, and similar low-voltage devices. The stranded construction makes it well-suited for runs that require routing through conduit, around corners, or in installations where some cable flex is necessary. It falls within the security stranded shielded category, making it a standard choice for installers who need reliable signal transmission in noise-prone environments.

Key Features

• 16 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility and ease of routing
• Single-pair configuration for dedicated signal runs
• Shielded construction to reduce electromagnetic and radio frequency interference
• Designed for low-voltage security and alarm system wiring
• Stranded conductor format suitable for conduit and routed installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard supply cable for low-voltage security, alarm, and access control wiring applications requiring a single-pair 16 AWG stranded shielded conductor.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified low-voltage technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for low-voltage wiring. De-energize all circuits and panels before making terminations. Maintain the shield continuity and ground the shield at one end only to avoid ground loops in signal circuits. Avoid running low-voltage signal cable parallel to high-voltage power conductors without adequate separation.
