Genesis Cable 21045809 22 Awg 4C Riser Cable 500 Ft Gray

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 21045809 is a 22 AWG 4-conductor stranded unshielded riser-rated cable designed for low-voltage security and alarm wiring applications. This cable meets riser (CMR) flame-spread requirements, making it suitable for vertical runs between floors in commercial and residential structures. The stranded conductor construction improves flexibility during installation, reducing kinking and breakage in long pulls. At 500 feet per spool, it covers substantial runs without splicing. Security installers and low-voltage technicians will find this cable appropriate for signal and control wiring in alarm panels, access control systems, and similar supervised circuits.

This cable is used in security system installations where riser-rated wire is required by code for vertical penetrations between floors. Typical applications include connecting door contacts, motion detectors, keypads, and other low-voltage security devices back to a central alarm panel. The gray jacket blends into standard commercial and residential wall environments. It is suitable for both new construction and retrofit security projects where a CMR-rated, unshielded stranded cable is specified.

Key Features

• 22 AWG stranded conductors for improved pull flexibility over solid wire
• 4-conductor configuration supports multi-wire security device connections
• Riser (CMR) flame rating meets code requirements for vertical floor-to-floor runs
• Unshielded construction keeps cable diameter and cost lean for standard alarm circuits
• Gray jacket for low-profile appearance in finished spaces
• 500-foot spool reduces the need for mid-run splices on longer installations

Compatibility

Designed as a standard CMR-rated stranded unshielded cable for low-voltage security and alarm wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm technician in accordance with NEC Article 760 and local building codes governing riser cable use. Power down or disconnect the alarm panel before terminating conductors at the control board. Use proper cable staples or j-hooks rated for low-voltage riser cable when securing runs, and avoid sharp bends that could damage stranded conductors. Do not bundle this cable tightly with high-voltage wiring without appropriate separation per code.
