ELK Products ELK-W120 Low-Voltage Security Wire

Overview

The ELK-W120 is low-voltage wire from ELK Products rated for 24W power delivery, built for panel-to-device runs on burglary and access control installs — keypads, sensors, sirens, and auxiliary power drops where a dedicated conductor run is cleaner than daisy-chaining off an existing home-run. Use it when you're pulling new wire during rough-in rather than reusing an unknown-gauge legacy run: matching wire spec to the load keeps voltage drop off long runs from causing false troubles or intermittent lockups downstream.

Compatibility

Rated for 24W circuits, so it fits ELK control panels and peripherals — keypads, door/window contacts, PIR sensors, and expansion modules — that draw within that power budget. Confirm the connected device's current draw and run length against panel output before pulling, since the 24W rating is a ceiling, not a per-device guarantee across every run.

Installation Notes

Carries a manufacturer warranty, so keep it on the documented gauge and run-length limits for the circuit it's feeding — running underrated wire past its rated load is the single most common cause of low-voltage nuisance faults on alarm systems. Terminate at the panel and device ends per the equipment manufacturer's torque and strip-length specs, not generic low-voltage practice, since alarm and access control terminals are more sensitive to poor crimps than typical structured cabling.
