Paige Electric 1U1802S2S5 18/2 Solid Conductor White 500' Coil
Overview
The Paige Electric 1U1802S2S5 is a 500-foot coil of 18-gauge, 2-conductor solid conductor cable with a white PVC jacket. This cable is designed for reliable signal transmission in low-voltage applications, commonly used for connecting security devices such as cameras, access control readers, or sensors to their power and data sources. Its CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating allows for use in riser applications within commercial buildings, ensuring compliance and safety. The 1U1802S2S5 model provides a substantial length for installations requiring extended cable runs without splicing.
Compatibility
This 18/2 solid conductor cable is suitable for a wide range of low-voltage security and automation systems. It is compatible with most IP cameras, PTZ controllers, access control panels, intercom systems, and alarm sensors that utilize 18 AWG wiring for power and signal. Specific compatibility includes devices requiring direct wire connections for power delivery and data transmission where standard 2-conductor cable is specified. It is designed for use with standard low-voltage connectors and termination methods.
Installation Notes
The cable features solid conductors, which offer lower resistance and better signal integrity over longer distances compared to stranded conductors, but are less flexible. Ensure proper termination to avoid signal loss or intermittent connections. The CM rating indicates suitability for in-wall and riser installations, but always verify local building codes for specific cable type requirements. Avoid sharp bends or kinks that could damage the solid conductors. The white PVC jacket is suitable for exposed runs or within conduit.
