About Wire and Cable

Communication and Security System Cable

Often used for intercoms, speakers, and security systems, this cable is designated as CM and CL2 or CMG, so the insulation is flame resistant and approved for in-wall installation in single-level facilities.

Use unshielded cable in applications where signal interference is not a concern.
