West Penn Wire AQC815BK1000 RG-59 Coaxial Cable

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE AQC815BK1000 is a shielded RG-59 coaxial cable designed for low-frequency video and data signal transmission in professional installations. Constructed with a 20 AWG solid bare copper center conductor and a 95% aluminum braid shield, this cable delivers reliable signal integrity with strong shielding effectiveness. The black outer jacket suits installations in conduit, along cable trays, or through wall cavities. It is sold in a 1000-foot quantity, making it appropriate for bulk pull installations across commercial and residential jobsites. Electricians, low-voltage technicians, and AV integrators are the primary installers of this cable type.

This RG-59 coaxial cable is suited for CCTV security camera systems, closed-circuit video distribution, and other low-frequency baseband video applications. The 95% braid shield construction reduces interference from external electromagnetic sources, which is critical in commercial environments with dense electrical infrastructure. The 1000-foot reel format supports structured cabling runs across large facilities, multi-unit residential buildings, or campus-style installations where longer continuous runs are required.

Key Features

• 20 AWG solid bare copper center conductor for consistent signal transmission
• 95% aluminum braid shielding for strong EMI and RFI rejection
• Black outer jacket suitable for indoor conduit and raceway installation
• 1000-foot bulk reel format reduces splices and supports long continuous runs
• RG-59 form factor compatible with standard F-type and BNC termination tooling

Compatibility

Designed as a standard RG-59 coaxial cable for use with CCTV cameras, video distribution equipment, and other low-frequency video systems requiring shielded coaxial interconnects.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage technicians and licensed electricians typically install RG-59 coaxial cable in accordance with NEC Article 820 governing community antenna television and radio distribution systems. De-energize any connected equipment before terminating cable ends. Use appropriate RG-59-rated compression or crimp tooling when installing BNC or F-type connectors to ensure proper shield contact and signal integrity. Avoid sharp bend radii during cable pulls to prevent damage to the center conductor or shield braid.
