Genesis Cable 22151101 18/4 Stranded Shielded Cmr Security Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 22151101 is an 18 AWG 4-conductor stranded shielded security cable rated for both CMR (riser) and FT4 installations. Sold in a 1000-foot pull box, this cable is built for low-voltage signal and control wiring in security, access control, and alarm system applications. The stranded conductors allow for flexible routing through conduit and wall cavities, while the overall shield provides protection against electromagnetic interference common in commercial and residential installations. The white jacket finish suits standard above-ceiling and in-wall routing where light-colored cable is preferred.

This cable is suited for residential and commercial security system installations including intrusion alarm panels, motion detectors, door and window contacts, and access control hardware. The CMR riser rating allows vertical runs between floors without conduit in most jurisdictions. The FT4 rating meets Canadian fire test requirements, making this cable appropriate for projects requiring compliance with both U.S. and Canadian installation standards. Security and low-voltage alarm installers are the primary trade audience for this product.

Key Features

• 18 AWG stranded conductors for flexible routing in tight pathways
• 4-conductor configuration supports common alarm and access control wiring layouts
• Overall shield reduces EMI pickup on signal runs
• CMR riser rating permits vertical in-wall runs between floors per NEC Article 800
• FT4 rating satisfies Canadian fire performance requirements
• 1000-foot box format supports continuous pulls on larger jobs
• White jacket for standard in-wall and above-ceiling installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use cable for low-voltage security, alarm, and access control wiring systems requiring 18 AWG 4-conductor shielded cable with CMR or FT4 fire ratings.

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 panel and all connected devices before terminating conductors. Maintain the shield drain wire continuity and terminate it to ground at one end only to avoid ground loops. Avoid running low-voltage signal cable parallel and in close proximity to line-voltage wiring to minimize noise pickup.
