Genesis Cable 21141108 18/2 Stranded Riser Security Cable 1000ft

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 21141108 is an 18 AWG 2-conductor stranded unshielded riser-rated security cable supplied in a 1000-foot box. Rated for riser (CMR) installations, this cable is designed for vertical runs between floors where building codes require fire-retardant cable that resists flame spread. The stranded conductor construction provides flexibility during routing and termination, making it a practical choice for alarm panels, access control systems, and low-voltage security device wiring. Security and low-voltage electricians install this cable in commercial and residential buildings as a code-compliant backbone for signal and control circuits.

This cable is suited for indoor riser installations in residential and light commercial security systems. Typical applications include connecting motion detectors, door and window contacts, keypads, and other low-voltage security devices back to a central control panel. The 2-conductor configuration handles standard signal and power return runs. The black jacket provides a clean, professional appearance in finished spaces and utility chases alike.

Key Features

• 18 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility during pull and termination
• 2-conductor unshielded configuration suited for standard security signal runs
• Riser (CMR) rating meets code requirements for vertical cable runs between floors
• 1000-foot box quantity reduces splice points on long runs
• Black jacket finish for clean appearance in a variety of install environments

Compatibility

Designed as a standard 18 AWG 2-conductor riser cable for use with residential and commercial low-voltage security and access control systems requiring CMR-rated wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security systems technician in accordance with applicable local codes and NEC Article 760 for fire alarm and signaling cable. Power down and disarm the security system before making any panel terminations. Maintain minimum bend radius during pulls to avoid conductor damage in stranded wire. Do not install riser-rated cable in plenum spaces where CMP-rated cable is required.
