Genesis Cable 21145509 18/2 Stranded CL2R Security Cable Gray

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 21145509 is an 18 AWG 2-conductor stranded, unshielded security cable rated CL2R for riser applications. This cable is designed for low-voltage security and alarm wiring installations where a riser-rated jacket is required by code. The gray PVC jacket meets CL2R flame and smoke requirements for routing through vertical shafts and between floors. Licensed low-voltage technicians and security installers use this cable for connecting control panels, sensors, motion detectors, and other security system components in residential and light commercial buildings.

This cable is suited for indoor riser installations where National Electrical Code riser ratings apply. Typical applications include intrusion alarm systems, access control wiring, and similar low-voltage security circuits. The stranded conductor construction allows for flexibility during pull and termination, making it practical for runs through conduit or open plenum-adjacent pathways where a riser-rated cable is the appropriate choice. It is sold per box.

Key Features

• 18 AWG stranded conductors provide flexibility for routing and termination
• CL2R riser rating meets NEC requirements for vertical shaft and between-floor cable runs
• 2-conductor configuration suited for standard security and alarm circuit wiring
• Unshielded design appropriate for typical low-voltage security signal applications
• Gray PVC jacket for clean, identifiable installation in security system work

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style riser-rated cable for residential and light commercial low-voltage security and alarm system installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security systems technician in accordance with NEC Article 725 requirements for Class 2 riser cables. De-energize all connected control panels and alarm circuits before making terminations. Avoid routing alongside high-voltage conductors without proper separation as required by applicable electrical codes. Do not use this cable in plenum air-handling spaces where a CL2P or FPLP rating is required.
