Genesis Cable 10041007 18/2 Stranded Zip Cord 1000 Ft Brown

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 10041007 is an 18 AWG, 2-conductor stranded zip cord supplied on a 1000-foot roll in brown jacket. This low-voltage security and alarm wire is designed for indoor signal and control wiring applications where flexible, easy-to-split conductors are required. The stranded construction improves flexibility and pull resistance compared to solid conductor alternatives, making it well suited for routing through conduit, raceways, or along finished surfaces. It is installed primarily by security system technicians and low-voltage alarm contractors.

This zip cord is used in residential and light commercial security and alarm installations. Common applications include connecting door and window contacts, motion detector leads, and other low-voltage sensor wiring back to a central control panel. The brown jacket color aids in color-coding multi-zone installations or blending with specific trim environments. The 1000-foot roll length supports full-building rough-ins with minimal splicing.

Key Features

• 18 AWG 2-conductor stranded construction for flexibility and pull resistance
• Zip cord configuration allows clean, tool-free conductor separation
• 1000-foot roll reduces mid-run splices on large installs
• Brown jacket for zone identification or aesthetic matching
• Rated for low-voltage security and alarm signal circuits

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard installation wire for low-voltage residential and commercial security alarm systems requiring 18 AWG 2-conductor stranded zip cord.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm contractor in accordance with applicable local codes and NFPA 72 requirements. De-energize the control panel and any connected devices before making terminations. Avoid routing this wire alongside high-voltage conductors without proper separation per NEC Article 725. Use a wire stripper sized for 18 AWG to avoid nicking stranded conductors during termination.
