Infinity Cable Products prides itself on offering the highest quality products possible. Our Elite 22/2 + 18/2 Automation/Control Cable is tried and tested to ensure performance and compatibility.
Q: What is 22/2 + 18/2 automation cable used for?
A: This combination cable is designed for automation and control systems that require both low voltage power and communication in a single cable. It is commonly used for lighting control, smart buildings, access control, security systems, and integrated automation equipment.
Q: Why does this cable combine 18 AWG and 22 AWG conductors?
A: The 18 AWG conductors provide power to connected devices, while the shielded 22 AWG twisted pair carries communication and control signals. Combining both into one cable reduces installation time and eliminates the need to pull multiple cables.
Q: Why choose 18 AWG power conductors?
A: The 18 AWG conductors provide an excellent balance of current carrying capacity, flexibility, and ease of installation, making them well suited for many automation and control applications.
Q: Why is the 22 AWG pair shielded?
A: The aluminum Mylar shield and drain wire help reduce electromagnetic interference that can affect sensitive communication signals, providing more reliable control system performance.
Q: What does the CMP plenum rating mean?
A: CMP indicates the cable is approved for installation in plenum and air handling spaces. It is manufactured with low smoke, flame retardant materials that meet stricter fire safety requirements than standard riser cable.
Q: What is the difference between CMP and CMR cable?
A: CMP cable can be installed in both plenum spaces and riser applications, while CMR cable is intended only for riser installations. CMP offers the highest fire safety rating and greater installation flexibility for indoor buildings.
Q: Can this cable be installed outdoors?
A: No. This cable is designed for indoor plenum installations only. Outdoor applications require cable specifically rated for outdoor exposure.
Q: Can this cable be buried underground?
A: No. This cable is not rated for direct burial. Underground installations require a cable specifically designed for direct burial use.
Q: Is this cable compatible with Lutron and Crestron systems?
A: Yes. This cable is commonly used with Lutron and Crestron automation systems that require separate power conductors and a shielded communication pair. Always verify the cable requirements for your specific equipment before installation.
Q: Why are there different jacket color options available?
A: This cable is available in Blue with a Green stripe or Blue with a Yellow stripe to help installers quickly identify and organize different automation circuits, zones, or systems. Using different jacket colors can simplify troubleshooting, maintenance, and future system expansions without affecting the cable's electrical performance.
Q: What is the drain wire used for?
A: The drain wire provides a convenient grounding point for the shield, helping maximize shielding performance when properly terminated according to the equipment manufacturer's recommendations.
Q: What applications is this cable commonly used for?
A: This cable is commonly used for lighting control systems, smart building automation, HVAC controls, access control, security systems, energy management systems, commercial automation, and other low voltage control applications.
Q: Can this cable be installed in conduit?
A: Yes. This cable may be installed in conduit when additional mechanical protection is desired or required by local electrical codes.
Q: Is this cable suitable for professional installations?
A: Yes. This CMP automation/control cable is trusted by low voltage contractors, electrical installers, automation professionals, and system integrators for commercial and residential plenum installations.
