The 291 22/2 non-plenum audio wire is engineered for dependable audio signal transmission in a wide range of commercial and residential installations. Featuring two 22 AWG stranded bare-copper conductors, this cable provides low resistance and stable performance over long runs. Its thermoplastic insulation with color-coded conductors ensures easy identification during installation, while the tight cabling lay length and precision twists per foot help maintain signal integrity.
To protect against noise and interference, the 291 incorporates a 100% aluminum foil shield along with a 24 AWG tinned-copper drain wire for effective grounding. The rugged gray PVC jacket offers flexibility and durability, achieving CMR/CMG ratings for use in riser applications. With an operating temperature range of -20°C to 60°C and UL1666/FT4 flame ratings, this 50 ft cable is built for safe, long-lasting performance.
Ideal for background music systems, paging, low-voltage audio, and control applications, the West Penn 291 delivers clean, consistent signal transmission in a reliable and installer-friendly design.
