Genesis Cable 21025808 22/2 Stranded Riser Security Cable 500 Ft

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 21025808 is a 22 AWG 2-conductor stranded, unshielded riser-rated security cable supplied in a 500-foot spool with a black jacket. Riser (CMR) rated cable is designed for vertical runs between floors in commercial and residential buildings, meeting fire-propagation requirements for in-wall and between-floor installations. The stranded conductor construction provides flexibility during routing and termination, making it well-suited for low-voltage security and alarm wiring applications. Licensed alarm installers and low-voltage technicians are the primary trades who work with this cable type.

This cable is used in low-voltage security, access control, and alarm system wiring where a riser fire rating is required. Typical installations include door contacts, motion detectors, glass-break sensors, and similar supervised-loop devices in residential and light commercial buildings. The unshielded construction keeps the cable profile compact and is appropriate for environments where EMI is not a primary concern. The black jacket blends with standard conduit and raceway aesthetics and provides basic abrasion resistance during pull-through installation.

Key Features

• 22 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility during routing and termination
• 2-conductor configuration suitable for supervised alarm loops and device runs
• Riser (CMR) fire rating for vertical in-wall and floor-to-floor installations
• Unshielded design keeps overall diameter low for easy pull-through conduit or raceway
• Black PVC jacket for durability and neutral appearance in finished spaces
• 500-foot spool quantity reduces mid-run splices on longer pulls

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-stock low-voltage riser cable for residential and commercial security alarm system wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm technician in accordance with NEC Article 760 requirements for fire alarm and signaling cable. De-energize all connected equipment and control panels before making terminations. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in stranded cable that could damage conductors or increase resistance at termination points. Do not use this cable in plenum spaces where a CMP-rated cable is required by code.
