About:
This cable features two conductors (2C) made of bare copper, renowned for its effective electrical conductivity. The designation “14 AWG” specifies the gauge or thickness of each conductor, which is an important factor in determining its current-carrying capacity and resistance. Being unshielded, it does not have additional layers for electromagnetic interference protection, which is typically not necessary for its intended low-frequency or direct current applications. The “halogen-free” aspect indicates that the materials used in the cable’s construction do not contain halogens, reducing the emission of toxic gases and smoke in fire situations.
Also Known As:
• “14 AWG 2C security cable”
• “Halogen-free safety cable”
• It might also be identified through industry-specific nomenclature reflecting its construction and applications.
Application:
• Security and alarm systems, where it might be used for connecting sensors, cameras, or access control units.
