Genesis Cable 21025809 22/2 Stranded Riser Security Cable 500 Ft

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 21025809 is a 22 AWG 2-conductor stranded riser-rated security cable supplied in a 500-foot spool box in gray jacket. Riser-rated (CMR) construction meets fire-propagation requirements for vertical runs between floors, making it a code-compliant choice for in-building security system wiring. The stranded conductor configuration provides flexibility during pulls through conduit, cable trays, and wall cavities. Security installers and low-voltage electricians use this cable for alarm panels, motion detectors, door and window contacts, and similar Class 2 low-voltage signaling circuits.

This cable is suited for commercial and residential security system installations where riser-rated wiring is required by the National Electrical Code. Typical applications include connecting peripheral devices back to a central alarm control panel through vertical pathways. The 500-foot spool box format supports larger jobs and reduces the number of splices required on extended runs. Gray jacket coloring is a common field identifier for security signaling wiring.

Key Features

• 22 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility during installation pulls
• 2-conductor configuration suitable for standard alarm circuit wiring
• Riser-rated (CMR) jacket meets NEC requirements for vertical floor-to-floor runs
• 500-foot spool box minimizes splices on longer cable runs
• Gray jacket provides visual identification in security wiring applications

Compatibility

Designed as a standard riser-rated replacement or new-installation cable for residential and commercial security system wiring, including alarm panels, sensors, and low-voltage signaling devices requiring 22 AWG 2-conductor unshielded cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or electrician in accordance with NEC Article 725 and local building codes. De-energize the alarm panel and associated circuits before making any wiring connections. Avoid running this cable in close parallel proximity to high-voltage AC wiring to minimize signal interference. Do not exceed the cable's rated bend radius during pulls to prevent conductor or jacket damage.
