Fit All Central Vacuum 18-2...

Product details
This 500-foot spool holds 18 AWG, 2-conductor low voltage wire, part 06-5102-05, sized for central vacuum control wiring. Every inlet on a central vacuum circuit needs its own signal line running back to the power unit so the unit knows a hose has been inserted, and a full spool handles an entire whole-house rough-in with wire left over for repairs down the road.
The brown jacket is worth choosing on purpose rather than by default. Along a baseboard, through an unfinished basement ceiling, or stapled across a joist near a wall opening, wherever the cable stays visible, brown blends into wood trim and darker framing in a way white cable does not, which keeps the run looking tidier once the job is closed up.
Use it for new low voltage runs on an installation, or to replace a section that has been nicked, chewed, or damaged during other work in the wall. Because this is bulk wire rather than a fitted component, it works with any central vacuum's low voltage control circuit rather than one particular brand's inlets or power unit; confirm your system uses standard two-conductor signal wire before ordering if you are unsure, since a mismatched gauge can trip up an otherwise straightforward repair.
- Part: 06-5102-05
- Gauge: 18 AWG, 2 conductor
- Length: 500-foot spool
- Color: brown jacket
Keep the spool on hand during a rough-in and you will not be short a run partway through the job, or caught without a replacement length when a line gets damaged later. A full spool also makes it easy to pull one continuous run to a distant inlet without splicing partway through, which keeps that station's signal circuit simpler and more reliable.
