Genesis Cable 22141101 18/2 Stranded Cmr FT4 Security Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 22141101 is an 18 AWG 2-conductor stranded security cable rated CMR and FT4, supplied in a 1,000-foot pull box in white. CMR (Riser) rating qualifies this cable for vertical runs between floors in commercial and residential buildings, while the FT4 flame rating meets Canadian Standards Association burn test requirements. The stranded conductor construction improves flexibility compared to solid wire, making it easier to route through conduit, wall cavities, and junction boxes. This cable is a standard choice for low-voltage security and alarm wiring where riser-rated jacketed cable is required by code.

This cable is used in low-voltage security alarm systems, fire alarm initiating circuits, access control wiring, and similar signal-level applications. It suits both residential and light commercial installations where a CMR-rated 2-conductor run is needed between a control panel and field devices such as door contacts, motion detectors, or glass-break sensors. The white jacket blends into finished interior spaces and is compatible with standard low-voltage staples and cable rings.

Key Features

• 18 AWG 2-conductor stranded construction for improved flexibility during pull and termination
• CMR riser rating for vertical shaft and between-floor cable runs per NEC Article 800
• FT4 flame rating meets CSA burn test requirements for Canadian installations
• 1,000-foot pull box minimizes handling and speeds continuous runs
• White jacket suitable for exposed interior runs in finished spaces
• Low-voltage signal cable appropriate for security, alarm, and access control circuits

Compatibility

Designed as a standard CMR-rated 18/2 stranded security cable for use with low-voltage alarm panels, access control systems, and security device wiring in riser or general interior applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm systems technician in accordance with NEC Article 800 and applicable local codes. De-energize the control panel and connected devices before making terminations. Stranded conductors require ferrules or appropriate terminal connections rated for stranded wire to ensure reliable contact. Do not exceed the cable voltage and current ratings for the intended circuit.
