Genesis Cable 21215501 16/2 Stranded Riser Cable 500ft White

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 21215501 is a 16 AWG 2-conductor stranded riser-rated security cable supplied in a 500-foot pull box in white. Constructed as an unshielded, stranded configuration, this cable is designed for in-wall and between-floor security system wiring in commercial and residential buildings. The riser rating means it meets vertical flame propagation requirements, making it code-appropriate for runs through floor-to-floor conduit or open riser shafts. Low-voltage security installers and alarm technicians are the primary users for this product.

This cable is used in low-voltage security and alarm system installations where a riser-rated, unshielded, stranded conductor is required. Typical applications include connecting control panels to keypads, motion detectors, door and window contacts, and similar devices in multi-story residential or light commercial buildings. The stranded construction offers flexibility during routing through walls and conduit. The white jacket blends with standard interior trim and finish work.

Key Features

• 16 AWG 2-conductor stranded construction for flexibility in routing
• Riser-rated for vertical flame propagation compliance in floor-to-floor runs
• Unshielded design suited for typical low-voltage security signaling
• 500-foot pull box for efficient jobsite dispensing and reduced waste
• White jacket finish compatible with standard interior installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-use cable for low-voltage security and alarm system wiring applications requiring riser-rated 16 AWG 2-conductor stranded unshielded cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm systems technician in accordance with NFPA 72 and local building codes. De-energize all connected control panels and devices before making terminations. Riser-rated cable must be installed in riser shafts or other vertical runs as defined by NEC Article 760. Do not substitute this unshielded cable in applications that specifically require shielded cable for noise rejection.
