Genesis Cable 21141009 18/2 Stranded Riser Cable 1000 Ft Gray

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 21141009 is an 18 AWG 2-conductor stranded riser-rated security cable supplied on a 1000-foot roll in gray. Riser-rated (CMR) construction meets fire safety requirements for vertical runs between floors in commercial and residential buildings. The stranded conductor configuration provides flexibility during installation, making it well suited for routing through conduit, cable trays, and tight pathways. This cable is a standard choice for low-voltage security, alarm, and access control wiring where an unshielded 2-conductor run is required.

This cable is used in low-voltage security and alarm system installations, including intrusion detection panels, door and window contact loops, motion detector wiring, and similar 2-conductor signal circuits. Its riser rating makes it appropriate for in-wall and between-floor runs in both residential and light commercial construction. Security and low-voltage alarm technicians are the primary installers of this product.

Key Features

• 18 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility during pull and termination
• 2-conductor configuration for standard security and alarm signal circuits
• Riser-rated (CMR) jacket for compliant vertical in-building runs
• Gray jacket for common low-voltage security wiring identification
• 1000-foot roll reduces splicing and supports larger installation runs
• Unshielded construction keeps weight and diameter low for easy routing

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 18 AWG 2-conductor riser security cable suitable for low-voltage alarm, intrusion detection, and access control wiring applications requiring CMR-rated cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm technician in accordance with local codes and NFPA 72 requirements. De-energize all connected panels and circuits before making terminations. Riser-rated cable must be used in vertical shaft and between-floor runs as required by the NEC; plenum-rated cable is required in air-handling spaces and is not interchangeable with this product. Avoid sharp bends or kinks during the pull to maintain conductor integrity.
