Genesis Cable 22153909 18/4 Stranded Shielded Security Cable Cmr

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 22153909 is an 18 AWG, 4-conductor stranded shielded security cable rated CMR (riser) and FT4, supplied in a 50-foot length. The CMR riser rating qualifies this cable for vertical runs between floors in commercial and residential buildings where fire-retardant cable is required by code. The stranded conductor construction improves flexibility during routing and termination, and the overall shield reduces susceptibility to electromagnetic interference common in security and low-voltage control applications. Gray jacket color is standard for security wiring installations.

This cable is suited for low-voltage security and alarm system wiring, including intrusion detection panels, access control runs, and sensor wiring in both residential and light commercial installations. Electricians and low-voltage alarm technicians install this cable in conduit or open plenum-adjacent riser pathways where a CMR-rated, shielded, multi-conductor cable is required. The 18 AWG stranded conductors support reliable signal transmission over typical security system run lengths.

Key Features

• 18 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility and ease of termination
• 4-conductor configuration handles multi-wire security and alarm circuit needs
• Overall shield reduces electromagnetic interference on signal runs
• CMR riser rating meets NEC requirements for vertical shaft and between-floor installations
• FT4 flame rating meets Canadian Standards Association vertical flame test requirements
• Gray jacket for standard security installation identification

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-format CMR FT4 stranded shielded security cable for use with intrusion alarm, access control, and low-voltage security panel wiring applications requiring 18 AWG 4-conductor shielded riser cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or certified low-voltage alarm technician in accordance with NEC Article 800 and applicable local codes. De-energize all connected panels and control equipment before making terminations. Maintain the shield drain wire continuity and terminate to ground at one end only to avoid ground loops. Do not exceed the cable bend radius minimum during routing to preserve shield and conductor integrity.
