Genesis Cable 1244506Y 18AWG 1pr 22AWG 5C Shielded Security Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 1244506Y is a multi-conductor shielded security and alarm cable combining an 18 AWG 1-pair run with a 22 AWG 5-conductor configuration. The cable is color-coded blue, white, and yellow for straightforward identification during installation and termination. Shielded construction helps suppress electromagnetic interference, making it well-suited for signal-sensitive security and low-voltage control applications. Licensed security installers and low-voltage technicians are the primary trade installing this product in both residential and light commercial settings.

This cable is used in security alarm systems, access control panels, and low-voltage signaling applications where a combination of power and control conductors is needed in a single run. The integrated shield reduces noise pickup in environments with other electrical wiring nearby. It is sold as a single reel and is appropriate for in-wall and conduit-routed installations where code-compliant low-voltage wiring practices apply.

Key Features

• Combined 18 AWG 1-pair and 22 AWG 5-conductor construction in one cable assembly
• Shielded design reduces electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference on signal conductors
• Stranded conductors provide flexibility for routing through conduit or around bends
• Blue, white, and yellow color coding supports fast conductor identification at termination points
• Sold as a single reel unit for continuous runs without mid-run splices

Compatibility

Designed as a standard low-voltage shielded security cable for use in residential and light commercial alarm, access control, and signaling system installations requiring a combined 18 AWG pair and 22 AWG multi-conductor configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security alarm technician in accordance with applicable local codes and NEC Article 725 for Class 2 and Class 3 remote-control and signaling circuits. De-energize the panel and any connected devices before terminating conductors. Maintain minimum bend radius to protect stranded conductors and avoid compromising the shield. Connect the drain wire of the shield to ground at one end only to prevent ground loops in signal circuits.
