Card Access Low Voltage Wiring

When running low voltage wiring to a card access system you will need the following:

• 18 AWG, 2 Conductor Unshielded (for lock power)
• 22 AWG, 6 Conductor Shielded (for card access reader)
• 22 AWG, 2 Conductor Unshielded (for card access door contact)
• 22 AWG, 4 Conductor Unshielded (for card access request to exit)

Now, when considering that each card access point or reader needs it own low voltage wiring home run you a re looking at a lot of cable.  However, General Cable makes a simple solution to this costly installation burden.  As you and your installation technicians know, pulling cable off of four rolls to each door is not ideal as it takes additional marking, strapping and labor.

With General Cable's all in one card access cable P/N 4ERS1S you will get all four of the above cables within one jacket.  It uses the same principle as the Siamese CCTV cable that includes both coax and power wires.

With the 4ERS1S access control cable from General Cable you will save a ton of time since your technicians only have to manage one cable to each card reader location.  As we all know low voltage wiring is one of the most important parts of system design and installation.  If you can speed up your installation time as well as make it less complex, then go for it!
