West Penn Wire LED162PWH1000 16 Awg Cmp Plenum Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The WEST PENN WIRE LED162PWH1000 is a 16 AWG, 1-pair unshielded plenum-rated (CMP) audio and signal cable supplied on a 1000-foot reel in white jacket. CMP-rated cable meets the fire-resistance and low-smoke requirements of NFPA 70 for installation in air-handling plenum spaces, making it suitable for commercial and institutional environments where code requires plenum-grade wiring. The unshielded construction keeps the cable flexible and easy to pull, while the 16-gauge conductors support moderate-run audio and low-voltage signal applications. This is a professional-grade wire reel installed by licensed electricians and low-voltage systems integrators.

This cable is used in commercial audio distribution, intercom systems, background music systems, and general low-voltage signaling in buildings where plenum-rated wiring is required by the Authority Having Jurisdiction. It is well-suited for ceiling and wall runs through HVAC air-handling spaces in office buildings, schools, hospitals, and retail environments. The 1000-foot reel length is standard for new construction pulls and larger retrofit projects where bulk wire is preferred.

Key Features

• CMP plenum rating meets NFPA 70 requirements for air-handling space installations
• 16 AWG conductors suitable for audio distribution and low-voltage signaling runs
• 1-pair unshielded construction for flexible routing and straightforward termination
• White jacket aids identification in multi-cable installations
• 1000-foot reel reduces splicing needs on longer commercial pulls

Compatibility

Designed as a plenum-rated low-voltage signal and audio cable for commercial building systems requiring CMP-rated conductors in air-handling spaces per NFPA 70.

Installation Notes

Installation must comply with NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 800 or applicable low-voltage wiring articles for the system type. De-energize all circuits and confirm the plenum designation of the pathway before pulling cable. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable minimum bend radius. Termination should be performed by a licensed electrician or certified low-voltage technician.
