Low-voltage alarm wire for residential

This 500ft spool of 18/2 stranded CCA cable is built for low voltage wiring such as LED lighting, fire detectors, doorbells, and security systems. Its flexible construction suits routing through walls, ceilings, or conduits in both residential and commercial projects. The two conductors provide stable signal transmission for alarms, CCTV, intercoms, and access control panels. It also works for speaker wire and home theater runs.

Verify voltage rating and local code before ordering

Confirm that your project uses low voltage circuits within the cable's rated class to avoid code violations. Check whether your installation requires plenum-rated or riser-rated jacket types, as this spool carries standard insulation. Ensure the 18AWG gauge matches the current draw and run length for your specific devices. Plan the route so the 500ft length covers all drops without excessive splicing.

CCA conductors with rip cord for easier pulls

Corrosion-resistant copper-clad aluminium conductors reduce material cost while maintaining conductivity for low voltage signals. The lightweight spool weighs 9LB and features sequential foot markings to track remaining length during installation. A built-in rip cord lets you strip the outer jacket quickly without damaging the inner conductors. Color-coded wires simplify termination at panels, sensors, and keypads day to day.

Questions about this item

Does the 500ft spool include connectors or do I need to buy them separately?

The spool contains only the 18/2 stranded CCA cable with colour-coded conductors, sequential foot markings and a rip cord. No connectors, terminals or tools are supplied, so you will need to source those separately for your installation.

The listing shows 18/2 stranded CCA — is there a solid-core or different gauge option in this same product line?

This product is specifically the 18AWG 2-conductor stranded CCA version on a 500ft spool. No other gauge, conductor count or solid-core variant is described for this model, so if you need a different specification you would have to select a different item.

What does the 18AWG 2 conductor rating mean for a real doorbell or LED lighting run?

The 18AWG 2-conductor design provides stable, low-interference signal transmission for typical low-voltage circuits such as doorbells, fire detectors, LED lighting and security sensors over the distances found in residential and commercial wiring.
