Paige 14/2X2500RED - 14 AWG Maxi 2-Wire Decoder Cable, 2500' Red
Paige 14/2X2500RED is a 2500-foot, 14 AWG Maxi 2-wire decoder cable built for irrigation and landscape control systems. Designed to meet Paige specification P7072D, this direct-burial cable combines corrosion-resistant conductors with robust insulation and a thick HDPE outer jacket for long service life in harsh outdoor environments.
- Length & size: 2500 feet on a single spool; 14 AWG, 2 parallel conductors for Maxi and 2‑wire systems.
- Conductors: Soft-annealed, tin-coated solid copper (ASTM B-33) for improved corrosion resistance in wet environments.
- Insulation: PVC insulation conforming to UL standards for TYPE UF/TWU, rated for irrigation control voltages and 75°C temperature rating.
- Outer jacket: Pressure-extruded high-density polyethylene (HDPE) jacket per ICEA S-61-402 and NEMA WC5 for mechanical protection and direct burial.
- Labeling & ratings: Printed legend per P7072D; inner conductors are marked 600V while the jacket print shows 48V to discourage building-wire use.
- Compatibility & splicing: Made for Maxi/Rain Bird, Toro, and other 2‑wire decoder systems. Paige recommends 3M DBR/Y-6 splices (Paige spec P7364D) for reliable wet-environment joints.
Application-focused and built to industry specification P7072D, this cable is ideal for commercial and residential irrigation control loops that require direct-burial durability, clear circuit identification (color-coded jacket), and corrosion-resistant copper conductors. Installers should follow manufacturer splice recommendations and local codes for burial depth and conduit where required.
