For use in Remote Control, Signaling, and Power-Limited circuits per NEC Article 725. Sizes 22 AWG - 16 AWG can also be used as communication circuits per NEC Article 800. Can be used in security, sound and audio, speaker cable, public address, intercom, sound reinforcement, alarm and access control circuits and power-limited controls. The conductors are cabled together; lay length varies depending on conductor count and gauge size.
