Q) Is your wire sunlight/UV resistant?
A) Yes, most of our non-plenum wire has UV protection. The amount of wear on the wire over the years depends on the location of the wire. Please refer to our individual part number specification sheets for more information.
Q) Do you offer direct burial cables?
A) Yes, we have direct burial fire and high-end sound cable. We also have water-resistant coaxial and network cables. Click

Q) What is WaveFLEX™?
A) WaveFLEX is a patent-pending jacket design created by our engineers in order to save our installers time and money. WaveFLEX improves cable flexibility, greatly improves stripping of the jacket, and allows for faster terminations.
Q) What is the Genesis® Speedbag®?
A) The Genesis Speedbag gives customers a convenient and environmentally conscious packaging option without sacrificing quality or performance. It is a packaging coil encapsulated in a high density poly wrap. Cables pull freely, do not tangle, and take up to 30% less space. This type of packaging is moisture resistant and recyclable so clean up is easy with no box or reel to dispose of.
Q) You have some Category 6 cables that are called “splineless”. What does that mean?
A) Standard Category 6 cables have plastic dividers (“splines” or cross-webs) that separate the wire pairs to help reduce cross-talk. Through careful design, Honeywell Cable can offer fully compliant Category 6 cables without these “splines”. These cables are more compact and flexible, allowing more cables per conduit and faster, easier terminations.
Q) What is the NEC?
A) The NEC (National Electrical Code) is a highly regarded handbook resource considered the most comprehensive document on electrical safety. The NEC explains current code requirements and discusses pertinent code changes. Articles of the NEC are specific to certain wire applications.
Q) What is Article 725 of the NEC for?
A) The scope of this article includes such systems/circuits for burglar alarms, access control, audio, nurse calls, and intercoms. It can also include some computer network systems, some control circuits for lighting dimmer systems, and some low voltage control circuits that originate from listed appliance or from listed computer equipment.
Q) What is Article 760 of the NEC for?
A) Article 760 pertains to fire cables used for fire alarms.
Q) What is Article 800 of the NEC for?
A) Article 800 pertains to communication circuits, voice, and data cables used for communication of video, data, or voice
Q) What is Article 820 of the NEC for?
A) Article 820 pertains to coax cable used for community antenna television (CATV).
Q) What do the abbreviations CM, CL2, CL3, FPL, MP, PLTC, and CATV stand for?
A) CM stands for Communication wire and cables. CL2 and CL3 stand for Class 2 and Class 3 (respectively) remote-control, signaling, and power-limited cables. FPL stands for power-limited fire alarm cables. MP stands for multipurpose cables. PLTC stands for power-limited tray cable. CATV stands for Community Antenna Television Cable.
Q) What does Riser rated cable mean?
A) Riser rated cable is required for jobs where cable is going to be run vertically up multistory buildings in floor to floor wiring riser.
Q) What does Plenum rated cable mean?
A) Plenum rated cable is required for jobs where cable is going to be run in return air space. In most buildings this area is above drop ceilings or under raised floors. The materials required to pass plenum standards are much more expensive than non-plenum-rated designs. Always make sure that your application truly needs a plenum cable to ensure you are purchasing the most costeffective solution. We have seen many cases where plenum was used, but was not necessary.
