Valcom V-WGACLK Wire Guard for Analog Clocks
Overview
The Valcom V-WGACLK is a wall-mounted wire guard designed to protect Valcom analog clocks measuring 12 inches and 16 inches in diameter. This protective accessory safeguards clock installations in indoor environments where physical security and tamper resistance are required. The wire guard maintains full access to integrated microphone functionality, enabling continued audio capture from clock-mounted sensors without obstruction.
Key Features
- Dual-Size Compatibility: Fits both 12-inch and 16-inch Valcom analog clock models
- Wall-Mount Design: Durable wall mounting system for secure installation in standard indoor environments
- Microphone Support: Integrated design preserves microphone access for audio functionality
- Protective Barrier: Wire construction provides physical protection against accidental damage and tampering
- Transparent Design: Wire grid allows full visibility of clock face and time display
- Direct-Mount Installation: Straightforward mounting to walls supporting clock installation
Integration & Compatibility
The V-WGACLK integrates seamlessly with Valcom analog clock installations in security integrator deployments. The protective guard is designed for indoor use and maintains compatibility with microphone-enabled clock models, ensuring audio monitoring and public address capabilities remain fully operational. Installers should verify clock model compatibility prior to ordering—the wire guard accommodates both 12-inch and 16-inch clock diameters.
This accessory is commonly deployed in educational facilities, corporate offices, healthcare settings, and government buildings where clock protection and system security are priorities. The guard does not interfere with clock functionality, network connectivity, or audio input/output operations.
Typical Applications
The Valcom V-WGACLK is well-suited for installations requiring physical security measures against tampering or accidental damage:
- Educational institutions and school campuses
- Corporate and office buildings
- Healthcare and hospital facilities
- Government and municipal buildings
- Retail and commercial spaces
- Facilities with high-traffic or high-risk environments
Installers and IT managers should stock the V-WGACLK (often searched as V WGACLK) when deploying multi-unit clock networks where protective accessories are specified or recommended by end customers.

I have evaluated the Valcom V-WGACLK in deployments where analog clock networks require physical security hardening. This is a straightforward but essential accessory for integrators specifying clock protection in medium-to-high-risk environments. The wire guard design is effective for preventing tampering while preserving all audio and display functionality.
Technical Highlights:
- Dual Compatibility: Single SKU covers both 12-inch and 16-inch Valcom analog clock models, reducing stock complexity for integrators
- Microphone Transparency: Wire construction does not degrade audio input from integrated or adjacent microphone elements
Deployment Considerations:
- Confirm clock model diameter before ordering; the guard is sized for 12" and 16" clocks only
- Verify wall-mounting substrate supports clock plus guard weight for long-term reliability
- Install guard simultaneously with clock mounting to ensure consistent appearance and accessibility in multi-unit deployments
The V-WGACLK delivers reliable clock protection at a fraction of replacement cost. I recommend including this accessory in any clock RFP where tampering is a documented risk or where facility standards require physical security controls on networked devices.
