What is Low Voltage Cabling?

Low voltage cabling refers to wiring systems that operate at a lower voltage than standard electrical power distribution (typically below 50 volts AC or 120 volts DC). Common examples include cabling for security systems, telecommunications (telephone, data networks), audio/visual equipment, and control systems. It is commonly used for transmitting data, signals, and low-power electricity for devices and systems within buildings and infrastructure. Due to the lower voltage, it generally poses a lower risk of electrical shock compared to high-voltage systems.
