Genesis Cable 21165509 18/6 Stranded Cmr Security Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 21165509 is an 18 AWG, 6-conductor stranded security cable with a CMR (Communications Multipurpose Riser) rating, supplied in a pull box. It is designed for low-voltage security and alarm wiring in commercial and residential installations where riser-rated cable is required by code. The stranded conductor construction provides flexibility during routing and termination. The jacket meets CMR requirements for installation in vertical runs between floors, making it suitable for riser applications without conduit in many jurisdictions.

This cable is used in security system installations including intrusion alarm panels, access control wiring, motion detector runs, door and window contact wiring, and similar low-voltage signal circuits. It is appropriate for both new construction and retrofit work where a riser-rated, multi-conductor cable is specified. Installers in commercial and light commercial settings will find it suited to panel-to-device runs that require flexibility and code compliance in riser pathways.

Key Features

• 18 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility in routing and termination
• 6-conductor configuration supports multi-zone or multi-function device wiring
• CMR riser rating meets code requirements for vertical riser installations
• Unshielded construction keeps installation straightforward for standard alarm and access control circuits
• Pull box packaging simplifies cable management on the job site

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use cable for low-voltage security, alarm, and access control wiring systems requiring 18 AWG 6-conductor CMR-rated stranded cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm systems technician in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) Article 800 and local authority having jurisdiction requirements. De-energize all connected panels and devices before making terminations. CMR-rated cable must be installed in riser applications per applicable code; consult local code for conduit requirements in specific occupancies. Do not exceed the cable bend radius during pull-through to avoid conductor damage.
