ASSA ABLOY EA 218 Connection Cable 6m 18-Core for EL46x/EL420/EL56x/EL520/PE4xx/PE5xx

Product Overview

The EA 218 connection cable is designed for integrating ASSA ABLOY electric locks, including models EL46x, EL420, EL56x, EL520, and the PE4xx/PE5xx series, in access control systems for commercial and institutional environments. With a multi-core construction and a cable diameter under 6.0 mm, it supports reliable signal transmission and fits door installations where durable, flexible cabling is required. This cable is rated for 200,000 opening cycles and operates between -20°C and +70°C, meeting demanding project specifications.

Its support for connecting card readers and exit buttons through 18 individually insulated cores distinguishes the EA 218 from generic lock cables. This capability enables centralized control and monitoring, as well as easy integration of auxiliary access devices without additional cabling. The EA 218 is particularly well-suited for installers and facility managers handling security systems in office buildings, schools, or hospitals where multi-function access control is required.
