Genesis Cable 10181008 10/2 Stranded Zip Cord 1000 Ft Black

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 10181008 is a 10 AWG 2-conductor stranded zip cord designed for security and low-voltage wiring applications. The parallel, easily separable conductor construction allows technicians to split and terminate leads quickly without specialized tools. Stranded conductors provide flexibility during routing through conduit, along framing, or in tight cable pathways. The black jacket offers a neutral, discreet appearance suited to surface or concealed runs. This cable ships on a 1000-foot roll, making it appropriate for larger installations or stocking at a service shop.

This cable is suited for residential and light commercial security system wiring, including alarm panels, door and window sensor loops, motion detector circuits, and similar low-voltage signal or power distribution runs. The stranded construction handles repeated flexing better than solid conductors, which makes it a common choice for runs that pass through moving assemblies or that require frequent repositioning during commissioning. Security installers and low-voltage technicians are the primary installers of this product.

Key Features

• 10 AWG 2-conductor stranded construction for flexibility in routing and termination
• Zip cord format allows fast field separation of conductors without cutting tools
• 1000-foot roll reduces mid-job splicing on larger installations
• Black jacket finish for discreet surface mounting or concealed runs
• Stranded wire resists fatigue cracking in flex-point or high-movement installations

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose low-voltage stranded zip cord suitable for security system wiring, alarm circuits, and similar 2-conductor signal or power distribution applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security systems technician in accordance with applicable local codes and NFPA 70 (NEC) requirements for low-voltage wiring. De-energize all circuits at the panel before making terminations. Secure cable runs at regular intervals per code and avoid sharp bends that could damage the insulation jacket. Do not exceed the current-carrying capacity specified for 10 AWG conductors under the applicable installation conditions.
