Genesis Cable 21955099 Access Control Cable Cmr

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 21955099 is a multi-conductor access control cable combining 18 AWG 4-conductor and 22 AWG multi-pair configurations in a single jacket. The 22 AWG section includes 2-pair, 4-pair, and 6-pair groupings, each with individual foil shields and drain wires for signal integrity. This cable is rated CMR (Communications Multipurpose Riser) for in-wall and between-floor routing in commercial and residential installations. Low-voltage technicians and security system installers use this cable where a single run must carry both power and data signal pairs to access control panels, card readers, and door hardware.

This cable is designed for access control, security, and building automation applications where a combined power and signal cable reduces installation time and conduit fill. The riser rating makes it suitable for vertical runs between floors in commercial buildings. The 18 AWG conductors handle lock power and door release circuits, while the shielded 22 AWG pairs carry data, audio, or low-level signal lines to controllers and readers. It is sold as a single unit and is well suited for new construction and retrofit security projects.

Key Features

• Combined 18 AWG 4-conductor and 22 AWG multi-pair construction in one jacket simplifies pulls
• Individual foil shields with drain wires on 22 AWG pairs reduce signal interference
• CMR riser rating meets code requirements for vertical between-floor installations
• 22 AWG pairs available in 2-pair, 4-pair, and 6-pair groupings for flexible signal routing
• Suitable for access control panels, card readers, electric strikes, and building automation wiring

Compatibility

Designed as a standard CMR-rated composite access control cable for use with low-voltage access control systems, card readers, electric door hardware, and building automation equipment requiring combined power and shielded signal conductors.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or security systems technician in accordance with NEC Article 800 and applicable local codes. De-energize all circuits and lock out power supplies before terminating conductors. Maintain proper bend radius and avoid sharp edges that could damage the jacket or foil shields. Shielded pairs should be terminated with drain wires landed at one end only to prevent ground loops.
