Occupancy Sensor Cables

Liberty’s new 18-3C-OC series Occupancy Sensor Cables provide an advantage over standard general-purpose cables. Occupancy Sensors have wiring leads color-coded black, red and blue. However, standard three-conductor general-purpose cable wiring color code is red, black and white. This can lead to confusion or miss wired sensors when matching up conductors. Available in Riser and Plenum ratings, these cables are matched to the leads of the occupancy sensor and feature black, red and blue color coding, enabling accurate functional wiring at all times.
