Description
Product Overview
The SYSTON Access Control Composite Cable is engineered for demanding access control systems where reliability, safety, and ease of installation are paramount. Each cable bundle integrates four distinct conductor groups: 18/4C for lock power, 22/3PR OAS for card readers, 22/2C for door contacts, and 22/4C for request‑to‑exit signals. All conductors are made from high‑quality stranded copper, delivering superior conductivity and flexibility compared with solid‑core alternatives. The cable jacket is a CMP/CL3P/FT6 plenum‑rated PVC material, which meets stringent low‑smoke, flame‑retardant, and RoHS compliance requirements, making it suitable for installation in air‑handling spaces such as ceilings and raised floors.
Color‑coded insulation further streamlines field work: gray identifies the lock power pair, orange marks the card reader pair, white denotes the door contact pair, and blue signals the request‑to‑exit pair. This visual coding reduces wiring errors and shortens commissioning time, especially in large‑scale projects like university campuses, hospitals, and corporate office buildings. The cable is available in a broad range of lengths—from 20 ft to 1000 ft—and in standard, noise‑sensitive, and black color options, allowing installers to select the exact configuration needed for each application without excess waste.
Usage
Designed for a variety of access control environments, this composite cable excels in installations where multiple devices must be powered and communicated over a single, organized conduit. In commercial office buildings, the cable can connect electronic locks, proximity card readers, door position sensors, and exit request buttons, delivering a clean, single‑cable solution that complies with fire safety codes. Educational institutions benefit from the noise‑sensitive variants, which minimize electromagnetic interference in densely packed networking areas, ensuring that door control signals remain clear and reliable.
Healthcare facilities, which often require strict infection control and fire safety standards, find the plenum‑rated jacket essential for meeting building codes while maintaining a sterile environment. The cable’s robust construction also withstands the frequent opening and closing of doors in high‑traffic areas, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Whether installed in a new construction project or retrofitted into an existing building, the SYSTON composite cable provides a versatile backbone for any access control system.
Why Choose Us
Choosing SYSTON means selecting a partner with a proven track record in industrial‑grade cabling solutions. Our composite cable undergoes rigorous testing for tensile strength, bend radius, and fire resistance, ensuring that each roll meets or exceeds industry standards. The stranded copper conductors are annealed for optimal flexibility, allowing installers to route the cable through tight spaces without compromising performance.
We stand behind our product with a comprehensive warranty and responsive technical support. Our engineering team is available to assist with system design, ensuring that the cable integrates seamlessly with both OSDP (Open Supervised Device Protocol) and legacy Wiegand interfaces. This dual compatibility enables customers to future‑proof their installations while protecting existing investments.
In addition to product quality, SYSTON offers logistical advantages such as bulk packaging options, real‑time inventory tracking, and fast shipping to reduce project lead times. Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in the use of recyclable PVC and compliance with RoHS directives, aligning with green building initiatives.

FAQ
What does plenum‑rated mean and why is it important?
Plenum‑rated indicates that the cable jacket meets strict fire safety standards for use in air‑handling spaces such as drop ceilings and raised floors. The CMP/CL3P/FT6 rating ensures low smoke emission and flame retardancy, which is required by many building codes to protect occupants in case of fire.
Can this cable be used with both OSDP and Wiegand devices?
Yes. The composite cable is designed to support the newer OSDP protocol, which offers encrypted communication and bi‑directional data, while remaining fully compatible with traditional Wiegand interfaces. This flexibility allows seamless migration to advanced security systems without replacing existing hardware.
How do I choose the correct length and color for my installation?
Measure the distance between your access control components and add a margin for routing and future adjustments. Select the color that matches your project’s documentation or the noise‑sensitivity requirements—standard colors for typical environments, or noise‑sensitive variants for areas with high electromagnetic interference.
Is the cable suitable for outdoor or wet locations?
The standard SYSTON composite cable is intended for indoor use in plenum or riser applications. For outdoor or wet‑location installations, a specially rated version with additional waterproofing and UV protection should be selected.
What warranty and support does SYSTON provide?
SYSTON offers a limited warranty covering material defects for a period of two years from the date of purchase. Our technical support team is available via phone and email to assist with installation questions, compatibility checks, and troubleshooting.
