Paige Electric 454932AYWM Shielded Composite Cable 1000' Reel
Overview
The Paige Electric 454932AYWM is a shielded composite bulk cable supplied on a 1000-foot reel. This product is designed for large-scale security infrastructure deployments where extended cable runs, electromagnetic interference (EMI) rejection, and signal integrity across mixed-signal environments are critical. The shielded composite construction protects against crosstalk and noise in installations combining video, data, and control signals over the same routing path.
Key Features
- 1000-Foot Reel Format: Eliminates per-foot purchasing inefficiency on large projects. A single reel covers substantial building segments or site-wide distribution without multiple smaller spools, reducing waste and simplifying inventory management on multi-building campuses or warehouse automation deployments.
- Shielded Construction: Electromagnetic shielding reduces interference from adjacent power lines, lighting ballasts, and RF sources—a real problem in industrial and commercial environments. Unshielded cable in these conditions introduces ghosting, color shift, and signal dropout. Shielding eliminates that.
- Composite Conductor Configuration: Built for mixed-signal transmission—video, data, and low-voltage control bundled efficiently without separate conduit runs. Common in access control wiring where camera feeds, door lock power, and alarm sensor lines must coexist in constrained ceiling plenums or wall chases.
- Security and Surveillance Integration: Suitable for CCTV backbone cabling, access control infrastructure, and alarm system distribution. Works with analog CCTV systems, IP-over-coax adapters, structured cabling schemes, and traditional alarm loops. Not limited to one topology.
- Professional Installation Workflow: Bulk reel format is designed for integration by licensed installers and system integrators who require bulk cable for field termination, custom runs, and site-specific routing. Not a pre-terminated product—you control connector type and termination standard.
- Cost-Effective Large Deployments: Per-foot cost is lowest when purchasing full reels. Warehouse automation, perimeter security, and multi-floor access control systems benefit from bulk purchasing and on-site inventory for emergency repairs and expansions.
Integration & Compatibility
The Paige Electric 454932AYWM works across a wide range of security and infrastructure systems. Common deployments include access control panel wiring, CCTV camera backbone distribution, alarm sensor circuits, and structured cabling backbones in commercial facilities. Because it is unshielded composite cable, termination and connector selection are entirely your responsibility—this is intentional. Installers choose RJ-45 jacks for network runs, BNC compression connectors for coax video segments, or barrier terminals for low-voltage control, depending on the specific infrastructure role. This flexibility makes it suitable for retrofit projects where existing infrastructure mixes legacy analog video with modern IP-based cameras and access readers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Paige Electric 454932AYWM pre-terminated?
A: No. The 454932AYWM is a bulk reel of bare cable. Termination—including connectors, jacks, and termination standards—is performed on-site by the installer.
Q: Can I use the 454932AYWM for IP camera installations?
A: Yes, provided you terminate it with the appropriate connectors (typically RJ-45). The shielded composite construction is well-suited to network cabling in environments with high EMI, such as warehouses with heavy machinery or industrial facilities.
Q: What is the benefit of shielding in a cable reel?
A: Shielding protects signal integrity by rejecting electromagnetic interference from power lines, RF sources, and industrial equipment. Unshielded cable in these environments suffers ghosting, color artifacts, and intermittent dropout. Shielding eliminates that noise.
Q: How do I plan for reel length on a large installation?
A: The 1000-foot reel is designed for bulk purchasing. Calculate total linear footage required for all runs (including 10–15% slack for bends and termination), then order whole reels. Multiple reels are common on campus-scale or multi-building deployments.
Q: Is the 454932AYWM suitable for access control wiring?
A: Yes. Access control systems often bundle camera feeds, door lock power, and reader data in the same cable chase. The composite shielded construction supports this mixed-signal topology efficiently.
Q: Can this cable be used in outdoor or harsh environments?
A: Check the evidence for outdoor temperature rating and UV resistance. If outdoor deployment is required, confirm environmental specifications with the manufacturer or your distributor to avoid moisture ingress or UV degradation over time.

The Paige Electric 454932AYWM addresses a real pain point in large installations: bulk cable sourcing that doesn't lock you into a single connector type or topology. On a 200-camera warehouse deployment, a single 1000-foot reel eliminates the nickel-and-diming of small spools and gives the installer the flexibility to decide termination as runs are planned, not fabricated off-site.
Technical Highlights:
- Shielded Composite Configuration: The shielding layer rejects EMI from power distribution, lighting ballasts, and RF noise—critical in industrial facilities where unshielded runs degrade video and data signals. You avoid the cost and logistics of rerouting cable away from power infrastructure.
- 1000-Foot Reel Volume: A single reel covers approximately 333 ceiling drops at 3 feet each, or a continuous backbone run across a large facility. For multi-building campuses, two to three reels typically cover the entire infrastructure.
- Composite (Mixed-Signal) Design: The cable supports bundling of video, data, and control lines in a single run. Access control systems, in particular, benefit from this—you avoid separate conduit runs for camera feeds, door readers, and lock power, saving installation labor and reducing visual clutter in cable trays.
Deployment Considerations:
- Termination is entirely on-site. Ensure your installer stock the correct connectors (RJ-45 for network, BNC for coax, barrier terminals for control) before the reel arrives. Running out of BNC connectors mid-install is a crew-halting problem.
- For outdoor or plenum runs, verify UV and flame-rating compliance with the manufacturer. The evidence provided does not specify outdoor temperature limits or UL plenum certification—confirm these with your supplier if required.
This cable is best positioned for integrators managing large access control or hybrid video/access deployments on campuses, warehouse complexes, or industrial sites where bulk purchasing and on-site termination flexibility outweigh pre-terminated convenience. Not suitable for plug-and-play installations or projects where you do not control the final termination.
