Genesis Cable 21161009 18/6 CL2R Low-voltage Cable 1000 Ft

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 21161009 is an 18 AWG, 6-conductor stranded unshielded low-voltage cable rated CL2R for riser applications. This cable is designed for security, access control, and alarm system wiring where a plenum-free riser rating is required. It ships on a 1,000-foot roll in gray jacket. The stranded conductor construction improves flexibility during pull and termination compared to solid wire, making it a practical choice for longer runs and tighter routing paths. Licensed security and alarm technicians are the primary installers of this product.

This cable is suited for residential and commercial low-voltage installations including burglar alarm panels, motion detectors, door and window contacts, access control readers, and similar security system devices. The CL2R riser rating qualifies it for use in vertical runs between floors in non-plenum spaces, meeting the applicable fire code requirements for in-wall and between-floor cable routing. The gray jacket allows it to blend with standard conduit and raceway installations.

Key Features

• 18 AWG stranded conductors for improved flexibility during installation
• 6-conductor configuration supports multi-zone or multi-function low-voltage device wiring
• CL2R riser rating qualifies for vertical between-floor runs in non-plenum spaces
• Unshielded construction keeps cost efficient for standard security and alarm applications
• 1,000-foot roll minimizes splice points on longer runs
• Gray jacket for clean, standard-appearance installations

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose low-voltage stranded unshielded riser cable for residential and commercial security, alarm, and access control system wiring.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm technician in accordance with NFPA 72 and applicable local codes. De-energize the alarm panel or access control system before making any terminations. CL2R-rated cable is approved for riser use but must not be substituted for CL2P or plenum-rated cable in air-handling spaces. Avoid sharp bend radii and staple over-driving, which can damage stranded conductors and jacket integrity.
