Genesis Cable 21045808 22/4 Riser Security Cable 500ft

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 21045808 is a 22 AWG 4-conductor stranded unshielded riser-rated security cable supplied in a 500-foot spool with a black jacket. It is designed for low-voltage security system wiring in commercial and residential buildings, including alarm panels, access control runs, and sensor loops. The stranded conductor construction provides flexibility during installation, and the riser (CMR) rating qualifies it for vertical runs between floors in accordance with NEC riser requirements. Installers working in multi-story structures specify riser-rated cable where plenum rating is not required.

This cable is suited for interior vertical and horizontal low-voltage security wiring applications. Typical uses include intrusion detection systems, motion sensor wiring, door and window contact loops, and access control panel connections. The 4-conductor configuration supports common alarm zone and power combinations in a single cable run, reducing conduit fill and simplifying terminations at panels and devices.

Key Features

• 22 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility in tight routing paths
• 4-conductor configuration supports zone plus power in one run
• Unshielded design suits standard interior security system installations
• Riser (CMR) rating meets NEC requirements for vertical floor-to-floor runs
• Black jacket for low-visibility mounting in finished spaces
• 500-foot spool length reduces mid-run splices on larger jobs

Compatibility

Designed as a standard CMR-rated low-voltage security cable compatible with conventional alarm panels, access control systems, and sensor devices that accept 22 AWG 4-conductor unshielded input wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm systems technician in compliance with NEC Article 725 and local authority having jurisdiction requirements. De-energize the panel and any connected devices before making terminations. Avoid running this cable in parallel with high-voltage conductors without maintaining proper separation per code. This cable is rated for riser use only and should not be substituted in plenum air-handling spaces where CMP-rated cable is required.
