West Penn Wire D4852GY0500 Shielded Audio Cable 24 Awg 500 Ft

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE D4852GY0500 is a 24 AWG, 2-conductor stranded shielded cable designed for audio signal transmission in non-plenum environments. The shielded construction suppresses electromagnetic interference, keeping signal runs clean over extended distances. Sold in a 500-foot continuous length, this cable suits structured wiring installations where longer pulls are common. Electricians, low-voltage technicians, and audio-visual installers typically specify this type of cable for background music, intercom, and sound reinforcement wiring in commercial and residential builds.

This cable is intended for non-plenum rated installations, meaning it is appropriate for use in standard wall, conduit, or in-wall pathways that are not used as air-return spaces. The 24 AWG stranded conductors provide flexibility during installation and are well suited for low-voltage audio signal circuits. The gray jacket aids in identification in mixed-cable environments. Installation must comply with applicable local electrical codes governing non-plenum cabling applications.

Key Features

• 24 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility and ease of termination
• 2-conductor configuration for standard balanced or unbalanced audio signal pairs
• Shielded construction reduces electromagnetic and radio frequency interference
• Gray jacket for easy identification in multi-cable installations
• 500-foot continuous length minimizes splices on longer cable runs
• Non-plenum rated for standard in-wall and conduit installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-specification cable for non-plenum audio wiring applications in residential and light commercial low-voltage systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or electrical technician in accordance with local building codes and NEC Article 725 governing Class 2 and Class 3 remote-control and signaling circuits. Do not route non-plenum rated cable through air-handling plenums or HVAC return spaces, as this application requires plenum-rated cable. De-energize all connected equipment before making terminations. Maintain proper bend radius during pulls to avoid damaging the shield or conductor insulation.
