Genesis Cable 21025803 22/2 Stranded Riser Cable 500ft Orange

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 21025803 is a 22 AWG 2-conductor stranded unshielded riser-rated security cable supplied in a 500-foot spool box in a high-visibility orange jacket. Riser (CMR) rating means the cable meets fire-propagation requirements for vertical runs between floors, making it a code-appropriate choice for in-building security and alarm installations. The stranded conductor construction improves flexibility during pull and termination compared to solid wire, which is a practical advantage in panel wiring and terminal-block connections. Licensed alarm installation technicians and low-voltage contractors are the primary installers of this cable type.

This cable is used in residential and light commercial security and alarm system installations where a riser-rated, unshielded 2-conductor run is required. Typical applications include zone wiring for intrusion detection systems, door and window contact circuits, glassbreak sensor wiring, and similar low-voltage signal runs. The orange jacket provides quick visual identification at the panel and in the wire way, which simplifies troubleshooting and future service calls.

Key Features

• 22 AWG stranded conductors for added flexibility during installation and termination
• 2-conductor configuration suited for single-zone or point-to-point alarm wiring
• Riser (CMR) rating for compliant vertical runs between building floors
• Unshielded construction keeps cost and diameter low for standard signal runs
• Orange jacket aids visual identification at panels and junction points
• 500-foot spool box minimizes waste on typical residential or small commercial jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard low-voltage riser security cable suitable for use with conventional hardwired alarm control panels and security system devices requiring 2-conductor unshielded signal wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm contractor in accordance with local codes and NFPA 72. Verify that riser-rated cable is the correct fire-rating category for the specific building application before pulling wire. Secure cable per manufacturer and code requirements and avoid routing near high-voltage conductors without proper separation. Terminate stranded conductors carefully at screw terminals to prevent stray strands from causing shorts.
