What is consider low voltage?
Low-voltage wiring is any wiring that consumes less than 50V of power. Most power outlets in homes and businesses are 110 or 120 Volt (VAC). There are some exception: Analog telephone rings around 90V, but it’s not dangerous to heathy human. This will be a topic for another day. PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt has a range of 50-70V).
What is AWG?
AWG stands for American Wire Gauge. It is a standard for measuring the diameter size of the conductive wire. The smaller the AWG, the larger the diameter.
Example 18 AWG wire has a smaller diameter than 12 AWG.
Some common AWG Low-Voltage Wires that we use. These are just common AWG sizes. There are so many different manufacturers that will make different-sized AWG cables.
Cat 3 cable – 24 AWG
Cat 5 Cable -24 AWG
Cat 5e Cable – 24 AWG
Cat 6 Cable – 22-24 AWG
Cat 6a Cable – 16-20 AWG
18/2 Alarm Wire – 18 AWG/2 conductor wire
RS485 Wire – 2 Pair 22AWG
Wiegand Wire – 3 Pair 22/6 conductor wire
Door Contact – 22AWG/2 Conductor
Lock Power – 18AWG/4 Conductor
REX – Request to Exit – 22AWG/4 Conductor
RG59 – Coaxial Cable – 20-22AWG – middle conductor
RG6 – Coaxial Cable – 18 AWG
RG59 Siamese Cable – 20 AWG with 18AWG/2 Conductor (for power)
RG6 Siamese Cable – 18AWG with 18AWG/2 Conductor (for power)
