Cambridge Sound CC-AE-400-PC 14 AWG cable, 2 Conductor, plenum rated (400 foot spool) - 424.0180.900

Product Overview

The Cambridge Sound CC-AE-400-PC (part number 424.0180.900) is a 400-foot spool of 14 AWG, 2-conductor plenum-rated cable for Qt Active Emitter power distribution. The plenum rating permits installation in air handling spaces above suspended ceilings without conduit. The 14 AWG gauge supports the longer power runs typical of distributed Active Emitter systems. One spool covers wiring for a substantial section of a masking deployment.

Product Description

Active Emitter sound masking systems carry DC power from the power supply and injector hardware out to emitters distributed across the ceiling, and the CC-AE-400-PC is the cabling designed for those runs. The two-conductor, 14 AWG construction keeps voltage drop manageable over long distances, which matters when a single power supply output feeds dozens of emitters in series along a ceiling run. Because masking cable almost always routes through the ceiling plenum, the jacket is plenum rated to satisfy code requirements for air handling spaces. Supplying cable on a 400-foot spool reduces splices and waste during installation, and lets integrators cut runs to exact length on site. Use it alongside the PS-AE-3 power supply, power injectors, and Qt Active Emitters available in the Cambridge Sound collection.

Key Features

• 14 AWG Conductors — heavier gauge limits voltage drop on long emitter power runs.
• 2-Conductor Construction — purpose-built for DC power distribution to Qt Active Emitters.
• Plenum Rated — code-compliant for installation in air handling spaces without conduit.
• 400-Foot Spool — continuous length reduces splices and lets installers cut to exact run lengths.
• System-Matched — specified cabling for Cambridge Sound Active Emitter power infrastructure.

Typical Applications

• Open offices — power cabling for Active Emitter grids across open floor plates.
• Private offices and conference rooms — plenum runs feeding emitters in enclosed-room zones.
• Healthcare facilities — code-compliant plenum cabling in clinical environments.
• Call centers — long continuous runs across high-density emitter layouts.
• Financial and legal offices — clean above-ceiling power distribution for masking systems.

FAQ

What is the CC-AE-400-PC used for?
It is the 14 AWG, 2-conductor power cable for Qt Active Emitter systems, carrying DC power from the power supply and injector hardware to emitters in the ceiling.

Can it be installed in the ceiling plenum without conduit?
Yes. The jacket is plenum rated for installation in air handling spaces, subject to local code.

Why 14 AWG?
The heavier gauge limits voltage drop over the long runs needed when one power supply output feeds many emitters across a floor.

How much cable is on the spool?
400 feet of continuous cable, allowing installers to cut runs to exact length and minimize splices.
