16-Inch Armored Door Cord with Aluminum Flexible Tubing, Plastic End Caps, and Surface Mount Installation for Routing Power and Signal Wiring Across Door-to-Frame Gaps in Access Control Installations
The Seco-Larm SD-969-A18Q is a 16-inch armored door cord with aluminum flexible tubing and plastic end caps for routing power and signal wiring across the gap between a door and its frame. The SD-969-A18Q features a 5/16-inch inside diameter and 7/16-inch outside diameter, surface mounts with included screws, and protects wiring to electric locks, card readers, request-to-exit devices, and door contacts on swinging doors.
The aluminum armored tubing flexes with the door during opening and closing cycles while protecting the enclosed wires from pinching, crushing, and wear. The plastic end caps measure 1-3/16 x 1/2 x 1-3/8 inches and provide a clean, finished appearance at each mounting point on the door and frame surfaces.
Where the SD-969-A18Q Fits
- Electric lock and strike installations on swinging doors where the 16-inch armored cord routes power wiring from the frame to a door-mounted electric lock or latch, the aluminum tubing protects wires from damage during repeated opening and closing cycles, and surface mounting with included screws provides straightforward installation on wood and metal doors
- Access control device wiring across door-to-frame gaps where card readers, keypads, and request-to-exit buttons mounted on the door require signal and power connections routed from the frame, the 5/16-inch inside diameter accommodates standard low-voltage access control wiring, and the plastic end caps maintain a clean finished appearance
- Door contact and sensor wiring on controlled doors where magnetic contacts, door position switches, and other monitoring devices on the door need protected wiring paths to frame-mounted junction points, the flexible aluminum tubing bends with door movement without crimping or breaking the enclosed conductors
What the SD-969-A18Q Delivers
- 16-Inch Aluminum Armored Tubing: Flexible aluminum construction protects enclosed wires from pinching, crushing, and wear during repeated door opening and closing cycles. The 5/16-inch inside diameter and 7/16-inch outside diameter accommodate standard low-voltage access control wiring.
- Plastic End Caps: Lightweight plastic end caps measuring 1-3/16 x 1/2 x 1-3/8 inches provide a clean, finished appearance at each mounting point. The corrosion-resistant caps attach securely to both the door and frame surfaces.
- Surface Mount with Included Hardware: Mounts directly to door and frame surfaces with included screws for straightforward installation on wood and metal doors. No routing or recessing required for the surface-mount design.
- Power and Signal Wire Protection: Routes and protects power and signal wiring for electric locks, card readers, keypads, request-to-exit devices, and door contacts. The flexible armored construction prevents wire damage at the door-to-frame transition point where wiring is most vulnerable.
