West Penn Wire AQC430GY0500 22 Awg 2 Pair Shielded Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE AQC430GY0500 is a 2-pair, individually shielded, 22 AWG solid conductor fire alarm cable with PVC jacket. Each pair carries its own shield for signal integrity in low-voltage fire detection and suppression control circuits. The solid conductors and individual pair shielding make this cable well-suited for point-to-point runs in addressable and conventional fire alarm systems. Licensed fire alarm technicians and low-voltage electricians install this type of cable during new construction and retrofit projects where code-compliant, shielded signal wiring is required.

This cable is used in commercial and residential fire alarm system installations, including control panel wiring, initiating device circuits, and notification appliance circuits that require shielded conductors to reduce electromagnetic interference. The 500-foot length accommodates longer runs between devices and panels without mid-run splices. It is appropriate for use in conduit or open plenum applications where a PVC-jacketed, shielded fire alarm cable meets the project specification.

Key Features

• 2 pairs of 22 AWG solid conductors for reliable low-voltage signal transmission
• Individual pair shielding reduces electromagnetic and radio frequency interference on each signal pair
• PVC outer jacket provides mechanical protection and flexibility during installation
• 500-foot spool length supports longer continuous runs in commercial installations
• Fire-shielded solid construction category meets fire alarm cable application requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style shielded fire alarm cable for use in low-voltage fire detection and control wiring applications requiring individually shielded 22 AWG solid conductor pairs.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed fire alarm or low-voltage electrician in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local codes. De-energize the fire alarm control panel and follow lockout/tagout procedures before terminating conductors. Maintain minimum bend radius and avoid sharp edges that could damage the PVC jacket or compromise the individual shields. Do not bundle fire alarm cable with high-voltage power conductors in the same conduit or raceway.
