Genesis Cable 2216-50-09 18AWG 6-conductor CL2R Security Cable

Product Description

The GENESIS CABLE 2216-50-09 is an 18 AWG, 6-conductor stranded shielded security cable rated CL2R for riser applications. It is designed for low-voltage signal and control wiring in security, access control, and alarm systems. The stranded conductor construction provides flexibility during installation, and the overall shield helps reject electromagnetic interference that can degrade signal integrity. This cable is a standard choice for licensed alarm and low-voltage technicians running conductors through vertical shaft spaces between floors in commercial and residential buildings.

This cable is suited for riser-rated installations where the run passes between floors or through vertical shafts. Typical applications include intrusion alarm panels, access control systems, motion detector wiring, and similar low-voltage security circuits. The CL2R rating confirms it meets the National Electrical Code requirements for riser fire resistance, making it appropriate for vertical in-wall and plenum-adjacent pathways that do not require a full plenum-rated cable.

Key Features

• 18 AWG stranded conductors for flexibility and ease of termination
• 6-conductor configuration supports multi-zone or multi-function security wiring
• Overall shield reduces electromagnetic interference on signal runs
• CL2R riser rating meets NEC requirements for vertical shaft installations
• Gray jacket for standard identification in low-voltage security installations

Compatibility

Designed as a riser-rated, stranded, shielded replacement or primary cable for residential and commercial low-voltage security and alarm wiring systems requiring 18 AWG 6-conductor CL2R-rated cable.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or alarm systems technician in accordance with NEC Article 725 and local code requirements. De-energize all connected panels and control equipment before terminating conductors. Maintain the shield continuity and terminate the drain wire at one end only to avoid ground loops. Do not exceed the cable bend radius specified for the jacket material, and avoid running alongside high-voltage conductors without proper separation.
