12 AWG power with a dedicated sense conductor
Choose 46/QSL for the five-conductor GRX-CBL-46L cable callout. The 12 AWG power/common conductors, shielded data pair and separate 18 AWG sense conductor provide the distinct wiring functions in one jacket.
The sense conductor is separate from the data pair and shield drain. That distinction matters when selecting cable from a project drawing. Use the system's load, wiring distance and installation requirements to select the correct construction.

Common questions
What is the cross-reference for Wavenet 46/QSL?
Wavenet cross-references LUTRON-46/QSL/1000 to Lutron GRX-CBL-46L and Liberty LUTRON-RBL. The product sold here is Wavenet-brand cable with 12 AWG power/common conductors, a shielded 22 AWG data pair and an 18 AWG sense conductor.
What is the additional 18 AWG conductor for?
It is the separate sense conductor used in the GRX-CBL-46L construction. Connect it according to the system wiring diagram; it is not the shield drain wire.
Is this plenum cable?
This is the non-plenum version. For a project requiring a plenum-rated cable, contact RF-AV for a plenum option.
How much cable is included?
Each unit contains 1000 ft of cable. Installation run limits are determined by the Lutron system design and connected load, rather than the package length.
